Automotive & Technical Services Recruitment
Mechanics, technicians and related vocational and technical skills for workshops, fleets and dealer networks.
Overview
Automotive & Technical Services
Workshops, fleet operators and dealer networks need technicians who can diagnose and fix, not just describe. MylesPort International supports automotive and technical service businesses with mechanics, technicians and service staff from Kenya, assessed on the vehicle and verified with their training providers.
We match the assessment to the fleet — light vehicle, heavy diesel, electrical, body and paint — and prepare technicians for the workshop systems, safety standards and customer expectations of the destination.
