Our client, a nationwide automotive dealer group, is currently looking to recruit a Vehicle Technician for their franchise-approved car dealership located in Newport.

Reporting to the Aftersales Manager, as a Vehicle Technician, your main duties will include carrying out service, maintenance and repair work on our clients' vehicles as instructed to the standards laid down by the manufacturer.
