Automotive Technician

The road of life has lots of twists and turns, and our Automotive Technicians are the torque wrench-wielding surgeons for everything on four wheels who keep it moving smoothly.

Working solo or with a team, you'll maintain and repair vehicles for the Cox Enterprises Fleet to make them look and run like new. Remember that "loves people" thing? Well, that's because you'll be delivering exceptional service to customers. Here's a list of some of the key responsibilities that accompany this job:

Who You Are

Despite all that swagger, you're an easygoing, friendly person, who gets along well with others and likes being part of a tight-knit team. You're cool behind the wheel of any kind of ride and take great care with how you drive.
