This means you’ll handle things like receiving faulty devices, figuring out what’s wrong with them, and then fixing those issues. You’ll also keep track of the parts you use and communicate with customers, colleagues, and other companies involved. Sustainability will be important too, so you’ll research ways to make the repair process more eco-friendly. You’ll mainly work with devices like phones, tablets, laptops, and drones, in places like stores, repair shops, or out in the field.
