Hello Jose! Top responsibilities? Being responsible. As a Technical Rep, I have the responsibility of explaining what our product is, what it does and how it helps a body shop. We have to learn from head to bottom the product's TDS, one single mistake trying to put some "wow" effects to our products will mean we can damage a whole job and, in some cases, life itself. We are taught to work with unwavering integrity. Another thing is keeping up to date with trends, what use to work a year ago might not work now, but there might be a quicker solution as R&D Lab keeps innovating to make lives easier at your job. When building a Technical Data Sheet, I have all the details from the product, but it has to be revised with my peers because I might be missing or not seeing something that is important to be in the TDS and for that you have to keep an open communication channel with your team around the world.

In the automotive field, a mechanic’s main responsibility is to inspect, diagnose, and repair vehicles to make sure they are safe and reliable.
Day to day responsibilities often include:
• Performing routine maintenance like oil changes, brakes, tires, and fluid services
• Diagnosing problems using experience, tools, and diagnostic equipment
• Repairing or replacing worn or damaged parts
• Following safety procedures and manufacturer repair guidelines
• Keeping tools and work areas organized
• Communicating clearly about vehicle issues and recommended repairs
In many shops, there is also a shop foreman. This person is usually a more experienced technician who helps train new mechanics, answers questions, and is the go to person when other techs run into problems they can’t solve. They help keep work flowing smoothly and make sure repairs are done correctly.
A good mechanic is detail oriented, dependable, and willing to keep learning, since vehicle technology is always changing.
