    Job description

    We’re looking for an experienced automotive diagnostic specialist to support dealerships and repairers with complex vehicle issues.

    You’ll be the escalation point when others can’t fix it — helping reduce downtime and deliver first-time-right repairs.

    What you’ll do

    • Serve as the first point of contact for repair requests and technical questions from technicians.
    • Provide technical support and remote guidance, using diagnostic best practices and OEM procedures.
    • Communicate directly with technicians in the local language to clarify concerns, gather symptoms and DTCs, and validate the steps taken.
    • Perform the initial triage, document cases thoroughly, and determine the resolution path or escalation criteria.
    • Escalate unresolved or complex cases to Level 2 support with complete, structured case information.
    • Adhere to established process standards, SLAs, and data quality requirements in all interactions and tools.
    • Support and guide repairs for OTA updates and basic troubleshooting for software updates.
    • Accurately record case notes, solutions, and knowledge artifacts, maintaining them to improve first-repair rates.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to share recurring issues, trends, and improvement opportunities.
    • Contribute to continuous improvement by following standardized workflows and proposing process improvements.

    What you bring

    • Strong experience in automotive diagnostics / technical support / workshop or field service
    • Proven ability to fix complex electrical/electronic faults
    • Hands-on use of OEM diagnostic tools
    • Confidence reading wiring diagrams and technical documentation
    • Experience working with workshops, engineering, or technical teams
    • Ability to support and guide technicians
    • Preferred: experience in field-based or multi-site support, multi-brand exposure with an OEM/importer technical support background

    Technical knowledge

    • Modern vehicle systems: powertrain, ADAS, body electronics
    • Networks: CAN / LIN / FlexRay
    • Diagnostic methods: root cause analysis, guided diagnostics, flashing

    Language

    • Working proficiency in Portugees and professional English required (written and spoken)
    • Additional European languages are a plus

    Working pattern and location

    • 40 hours per week
    • Monday-Friday
