EV service technician

An EV service technician diagnoses and repairs electric vehicles, including their high-voltage battery systems, electric motors, charging systems, and the electronics that run them. They troubleshoot faults with specialized diagnostic tools, service and replace battery and powertrain components, and work safely around dangerous high-voltage systems following strict procedures.

This is a fast-growing specialty as EVs spread, requiring electrical and electronic expertise more than traditional engine knowledge, plus rigorous safety training. Technicians work at dealerships, EV-focused shops, and fleet operations.

The job suits forward-looking, electrically minded people who want to work at the leading edge of automotive technology as the industry shifts away from combustion engines.
