Volvo Cars is establishing itself as an industry leader in new technologies that are changing how people drive and own cars. Any technician at Volvo Cars will has the opportunity to work on exciting industry-leading technology, including autonomous drive, in-car connectivity and hybrid power-trains. Briefly fulfilled a role as technical training assistant in 2012. Tasks included maintaining and documenting faults and technical issues experienced at the workshops in the Middle-Eastern region and forwarding reports to Volvo HQ in Sweden. This was in parallel to my regular duties as a service technician. I trained and operated as a Volvo Personal Service Technician (PST) during the initial pilot program at Volvo Cars, Dubai: To help create a closer personal relationship with our customers, Volvo Personal Service Technicians are responsible for each stage of the customer workshop experience: from arranging service bookings and taking delivery of the customer’s car, to performing the service or repair, before finally preparing and clearly explaining the customer’s invoice. Volvo Car Company VISTA winner: Best Technician, Middle East Region Al-Futtaim/ Trading Enterprises Annual Skill Competition: Runner Up: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 As the Volvo Car Company, Dubai was a subsidiary to Trading Enterprises - Al Futtaim, I had the opportunity to work on a broader range of cars within the group, such as Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM and Fisker (the then immediate rival to Tesla Motors).
