Duties

• Carry out thorough mechanical inspections on motorhomes to identify faults, using diagnostic equipment, schematics, and technical manuals.

• Diagnose complex mechanical issues accurately and efficiently, ensuring repairs are completed to a high standard.
• Conduct routine servicing, fluid changes, and component replacements to keep motorhomes operating safely and reliably.
• Test and verify repairs through road tests and system checks to confirm optimal performance.
