Beyond Mechanics: The Role of an ADAS Technician
An ADAS technician isn’t just a mechanic — they’re part electrician, part IT specialist, and part problem-solver. Their job is to ensure that the cameras, radars, and sensors in modern vehicles function flawlessly.
A Typical Day Includes:
- Performing windscreen camera calibrations after glass replacement
- Realigning front radars after accident repairs
- Diagnosing electrical faults in blind spot monitoring systems
- Providing insurers with pre- and post-scan calibration reports
- Conducting dynamic calibrations on the road to finalise adjustments
Skills Required
- Electrical knowledge for wiring and CAN-bus systems
- Diagnostic expertise with OEM-level scan tools
- Attention to detail to achieve millimetre-accurate calibration
- Patience — a rushed job can mean unsafe results
Why Their Work Matters
Every calibration performed correctly means another vehicle on the road is safer. For insurers, it means compliance. For drivers, it means peace of mind. For our technicians, it’s a daily commitment to calibrating with confidence.
The Future of ADAS Technicians
As ADAS becomes standard, the demand for skilled technicians will grow. At Safe Drive Group, we’re committed to training the next generation of specialists who will keep Australia’s roads safe.
