Document the condition of incoming equipment, inspection findings, parts replaced, repair work completed, and final test results
Take clear photographs and maintain repair records where required for traceability and customer documentation
Follow work instructions, ISO procedures, safety requirements, and established quality standards
Maintain accurate parts usage and repair status information in the applicable service or ERP documentation system
Ensure repaired products meet defined quality requirements before release
Support continuous improvement of repair procedures, checklists, documentation, and workshop standards
Workshop & Operational Responsibilities
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional repair workspace suitable for precision vacuum equipment
Properly handle and store customer equipment, tools, replacement parts, and consumable materials
Follow contamination-control and cleanliness requirements appropriate to vacuum components
Manage assigned repair work independently and communicate status, technical findings, and delays in a timely manner
Support development of local component repair capability as repair volume and product scope expand
