The Opportunity Reporting to the Service Lead, Flexdrive is seeking a decisive and security-conscious Repair Coordinator to own the complete repair and parts lifecycle for our 24/7 AV operations — from the initial intake of a vehicle requiring service, through parts procurement and consumption, to the vehicle's final release back into the active fleet.
