• Provide feedback on product quality, repair effectiveness and Dealer capability.

• Support Warranty and Quality teams with inspections, technical analysis and field investigations.

• Contribute to continuous improvement across Lotus Aftersales.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a Field Service Engineer, Master Technician, or in an equivalent technical Aftersales role.

You'll be accountable for supporting Dealer technical performance, improving repair quality and strengthening first-time fix performance. Success will be reflected in reduced escalations, stronger Dealer confidence and capability, and improved customer satisfaction.
