Fluid & Leak Verification: Check hydraulic fluids, engine fluids, and gearboxes. Inspect all lines and valves to guarantee zero leaks under system pressure.
Cosmetic Detailing & Touch-ups: Clean the interior and exterior of completed vehicles. Perform minor paint touch-ups and remove production debris (shavings, overspray) to ensure a flawless presentation.
Documentation: Complete and sign off on all QA/Make Ready paperwork, logging any defects or non-conformities to be sent back to the production floor before customer sign-off.
Required Skills & Qualifications Experience: 1-3 years of experience in automotive upfitting, heavy equipment assembly, or mechanical quality control.
Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret blueprints, electrical schematics, and mechanical engineering drawings.
