Perform brake relines and road tests to verify repair quality
Maintain accurate service records and a clean, safe work environment
Support and mentor apprentices or entry-level mechanics

Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, follow instructions, and use diagnostic software
Ability to work various shifts and locations
Safe, reliable work practices and willingness to learn new technology
Ability to obtain and maintain a Class B CA Driver License with passenger endorsement

Opportunities for training, growth, and skill development
Contribute to a mission-driven agency that keeps Orange County moving
