7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

There are a number of different skills I need for my job. I read and research a lot. If I haven't worked on a particular vehicle, I do research on the Internet to make sure I'm doing what I need to. Research also includes talking to other mechanics. Diagnostic procedures need reading and math skills to figure out problems such as why a sensor isn't work within range.

Oral communication is also important. When I'm trying to find the problem, I need other technicians' input. People skills and communicating are important when dealing with customers too.
