Master mechanics repair, overhaul, or modify vehicles and equipment that are complex, involve complicated and varied systems, or entail unusually difficult problems because available guidelines do not apply. Vehicles and equipment contain numerous, interconnected, and complex mechanical and non-mechanical systems.

Qualifications:

• Ability to exercise judgment and independence in determining the methods and techniques required to solve unusually complex maintenance and repair problems.

• Develop or improvise methods, alter parts, and make repairs in the absence of technical guidelines.
