Work Environment
Automotive engineering technicians spend much of their time at manufacturing sites and other work sites. They work with different types of machines and must take safety precautions and follow proper procedures to prevent injury from equipment and exposure to chemicals and toxic materials.
Most automotive engineering technicians work full-time, with occasional overtime during weeknights and weekends to meet project deadlines. A flexible attitude is required as the work environment may vary. The ability to work with different types of people and to follow directions and procedures is also essential in this field.
