Narrative:

On jan/sat/07; I was sent on a road trip for an oil service task on aircraft. Upon arriving at the said station around XA45; I proceeded to check in with the station manager who informed me of the situation and; after verifying with the flight crew and the maintenance discrepancy written in the aml; I proceeded to perform the oil servicing task for both #1 and #2 engines according to the aircraft maintenance procedures. After completion of the maintenance task; I verified both oil servicing caps and access doors closed; before signing the aircraft aml (aircraft maintenance log). After signing I checked back with the flight crew and we proceeded to head back on the assigned flight for that aircraft. Upon arriving at around XC00 the #2 engine oil access door was noticed damaged with 3 of the 5 latches securing the door closed undone. The plane was later taken to the station hangar for replacement of the #2 engine bottom cowl. To the best of my knowledge; all maintenance procedures were followed and accomplished accordingly and satisfactorily in accordance to aircraft maintenance manual procedures for engine oil servicing.
