Documentation: Maintain proper, detailed technical notes and documentation for all completed and in-process repairs for internal and external use. Customer Interaction: Perform duties with high professionalism when interacting with customers, families, third-party affiliates, and suppliers at service facilities or outreach events.

Continuous Improvement: Identify process areas for improvement, provide constructive feedback to mentorship leads, and participate in service campaigns or containment initiatives.
