* Perform scheduled maintenance and corrective repairs accurately and efficiently.
* Use diagnostic equipment, workshop tools, and testing instruments in accordance with safe operating procedures.
* Interpret complex vehicle wiring diagrams, technical manuals, and manufacturer service literature.
* Carry out fault tracing for electrical circuits, sensors, actuators, control units, and related vehicle systems.
* Complete mechanical and electrical repair work to required workshop and manufacturer standards.
* Verify repair quality through functional testing and post-repair inspections.
* Identify additional defects or maintenance requirements while vehicles are undergoing service or repair.
* Recommend legitimate additional repairs based on vehicle condition and technical findings.
* Communicate identified work requirements clearly to Service Advisors or relevant workshop personnel.
* Prepare accurate technical reports for warranty claims, repair authorization, and maintenance records.
* Document diagnostic findings, repair actions, replaced components, and test results.
* Assist other technicians when complex or recurring vehicle faults require advanced diagnostic support.
* Share technical knowledge with workshop colleagues to improve fault-finding efficiency.
* Follow manufacturer repair procedures and technical specifications during all assigned work.
* Maintain high workmanship standards and avoid unnecessary repeat repairs.
* Ensure tools, equipment, diagnostic devices, and work areas are used safely and responsibly.
* Support workshop productivity by completing assigned jobs within reasonable repair times.
