Vehicle Technician

A salary of up to £45,579 dependent on your skill and experience levels, we know we have a salary package that will suit Technicians at all stages of their career. So, whether you are a qualified Master Technician with a Franchised Retailer or a mechanic at an independent garage come and talk to us, we want to help you progress in your career!

Your duties will depend upon your experience and training but as a skilled Technician/Mechanic, you will be able to undertake both minor and major mechanical faults (including engine repairs) and return vehicles back to manufacturer specification and standards. We are welcoming applications from Technicians who are NVQ level 3 trained or equivalent.

What will you need to succeed in the role:

• Drive, passion and enthusiasm to succeed.
• Demonstrate capability and confidence in using equipment within the workshop safely.
• At least NVQ level 3 trained with work experience in a franchised dealer or independent garage.
• MOT Tester preffered.
• Experience in used car prep.
