- Coordinate travel, customer appointments, tools, documentation, and changing service assignments.
- Communicate professionally with customers, technical support, service leadership, and Quest teams.
- At least one year of professional hands-on experience in field service, equipment repair, industrial maintenance, electronics, automotive diagnostics, appliance repair, medical equipment, or another electro-mechanical role.
- Experience installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, or repairing electro-mechanical equipment.

- Experience troubleshooting or replacing FRUs, modules, boards, power supplies, wiring, connectors, harnesses, sensors, motors, or assemblies.
