- CLASSIC VEHICLE TECHNICIAN / SOUTH GLOUCESTER.
- SALARY: Between £35-55,000 per annum (negotiable pending experience).
- HOURS: 45-hour week between the business's opening hours of 7:00am-5:00pm, with a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute tea breaks.

Our client, an independent automotive workshop located in South Gloucester and specialising in the restoration and repair of classic vehicles, is looking to recruit a Vehicle Technician to join their business.
Reporting to the Workshop Manager and working as part of a friendly team, as a Vehicle Technician, your main duties will include carrying out routine servicing, maintenance and repair on mostly heritage brand and modern classic vehicles as instructed to the standards laid down by our client, alongside engine, gearbox and rear axle removal, full vehicle restorations, and associated mechanical and electrical repairs. You will need to ensure that faults are accurately diagnosed and report them to the Workshop Manager as and when required, regarding vehicle condition, safety, reliability, and performance. You will also need to ensure that workmanship quality and Health & Safety (HSE) procedures relating to the task at hand are always adhered to. Our client's customers expect the very best!
For our client, experience, passion, and attitude count more than certificates.
Whilst an NVQ Level 3 or equivalent qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair would be highly desirable, our client is open to considering candidates with no qualifications, provided they have strong "time served" experience working as a Vehicle Technician. Due to the nature of the vehicles you shall be working on daily, you will need to have extensive experience with internal combustion engines, a high level of "old-fashioned" diagnostic skills, and a strong understanding of overall vehicle maintenance and repair. Any experience carrying out restoration and repair work on classic vehicles or within motorsport would also be highly desirable, but is non-essential, as training is provided. Overall, you must be able to produce high-quality work in a busy workshop environment, have a passionate approach to the motor trade, and be motivated to work as a team to provide a profitable and enjoyable working environment. You will also need to have a UK driving licence with minimal points, have your own basic tool kit (specialist tools provided), and live within a 30-45 minute radius of South Gloucester (candidates located in North Bristol, Stroud, Cirencester, Gloucester, or Cheltenham would be ideal).
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? For your hard work as a Vehicle Technician, our client is offering:
- Starting salary between £35-55,000 per annum (negotiable pending experience).
- 20 days of annual leave, plus the 8 bank holidays.
- Workplace pension scheme.
- Further technical training/development.
- Modern, well-equipped workshop.
- A rare and not-to-miss opportunity to work with some of the rarest and most desirable cars on the road, where no two days are the same!
- 45-hour week between the business's opening hours of 7:00am-5:00pm, with a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute tea breaks.
