Requirements
What we're looking for
- More than 1 year of practical experience in repair, assembly, or service—campervans, caravans, boats, household appliances, carpentry, bodywork, or similar. What matters to us is what you know how to repair, not in which sector you did it.
- Strong in at least one of the following areas: interior assembly, equipment/systems repair, or exterior repairs—willing to learn the others.
- Confident in the use of manual and power tools.
- Comfortable working with a repair list and adjusting the day as new jobs arrive.
- Good level of English; knowledge of the local language is a plus, as are good communication skills.
- Eligible to work in Portugal, with a valid driver's license (category B) and confident in driving a campervan.
- Available to work on weekends and holidays.
- Flexibility and availability to travel, including the possibility of working abroad for specific periods depending on the project.
- Available for weekends and peak periods; comfortable spending long periods standing in a depot, both indoors and outdoors, and lifting 10-15 kg.
The role
We are looking for talented and passionate people, who excel in manual work and practical tasks, to strengthen our team. As an RFA (Campervan Maintenance Technician), you will be part of our service team in Porto; your main responsibility will be to ensure that our campervans are always well-maintained and in the best possible condition.
Depending on the depot, you will also participate in rental operations. This role is essential to keep our fleet road-ready, allowing our customers to embark on unforgettable journeys. If you love manual work, solving problems, having an immediate impact on goals, and are motivated to be part of a team with a clear mission, we invite you to bring your experience to our teams.
What you'll do
- Perform systematic inspections of vehicles and diagnose problems in interior systems, equipment, and exteriors.
- Execute maintenance and repairs on campervans and motorhomes, including: replacement of minor exterior parts (bulbs, windows, mirrors); replacement and repair of spare parts; diagnosis and repair of campervan equipment.
- Diagnose the cause of a fault before replacing parts, and decide—and communicate clearly—when a vehicle is genuinely ready to rent.
- Manage your repair list from start to finish, adjusting it as urgent jobs arrive, without losing sight of what was left for later.
- Always keep all vehicle records, repair notes, and parts consumption updated in the fleet management system.
- Keep tools, equipment, and the workspace clean and organized.
- Keep the spare parts inventory organized—perform stock counts and manage the receipt and consumption of parts.
- Receive and collect shipments and supplies, organize them in storage areas, and record consumption and new orders.
- Maintain and develop relationships with external partners and coordinate the execution of vehicle interventions with external suppliers and regional teams.
Depending on the location, you will also be an active part of the depot's daily operations:
- Preparation of vehicles and equipment for customers
- Support in reservation management, guest reception, and handling check-ins and check-outs
- Maintenance of depot equipment, extras, and consumables
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

- Continuous training and coaching to develop the skills you value most.

- Free road trips to experience the Indie experience firsthand—trips through Europe, North America, and Oceania.
