Candidate #1111
Technician in Washington County, Maryland

Passively Looking for Technician jobs within 100 miles of Washington County, Maryland.

I started in this field at an early age and I feel I have spent most of that time learning. For 40 years I have been either working on cars, supervising people working on cars, or teaching people to work on cars. While I have enjoyed doing all these, I have found I enjoy the challenges of actually performing the work myself. I have a strong understanding in electrical and electronic control systems; and, I have the patience to investigate and learn the systems at fault when information is available.

Skills

10+ years Engine Performance / Driveability Analysis & Repair

10+ years Electrical / Electronic Analysis & Repair

Tools and Equipment

I have had the opportunity to work with some very advanced (in their time) automotive diagnostic systems, including chassis dynomometers. I have accumulated scanners, lab scope and such, but I think the most valuable tool is a good information system.
