How to Become an Authorised Infinitev Fitter

Becoming an authorised Infinitev fitter is a rewarding step for mechanics who want to work at the forefront of electric and hybrid vehicle (EV) technology. With more hybrids and EVs on the road than ever before, mechanics that can’t service fit EVs and EV batteries risk losing a lot of business. 

Here’s how you can qualify to work with these cutting-edge systems and take your career in a new direction.

The Role of an Authorised Infinitev Fitter

As an authorised Infinitev fitter, you’ll be responsible for the maintenance, installation, and testing of hybrid batteries, and for ensuring customers receive correct and timely service. Infinitev representatives are seen as local hybrid and EV battery experts and ensure drivers get the right battery type and the best installation, maintaining their warranty.

Essential Mechanical Fitter Qualifications

To become a mechanical fitter, specific qualifications and experience are necessary. Here’s what you need:

• Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade
  This foundational qualification provides the technical skills required for mechanical fitting and maintenance. It covers essential areas like diagnostics, safety protocols, and the practical skills needed for working in mechanics.
• Certificate III in Electrotechnology - while not essential to work with EVs, this specialised certification covers electrical systems and high-voltage systems like those found in electric vehicles. 
• Specialised Training in Hybrid Batteries
  Training specific to hybrid battery systems, including installation, safety protocols, and troubleshooting, is essential. Infinitev can recommend training organisations for formal training, and offer ongoing diagnostic and hotline support for authorised fitters.
