Reporting to the Service Manager, and working part of a friendly team, your key responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out servicing and maintenance on a range of vehicles, including diagnostic, warranty and repair work, supported by digital write-ups and job card completion.

- Completing EV work (if qualified) and hydraulic repairs safely and efficiently, working in line with manufacturer standards.

- If suitably qualified, assisting Apprentice Vehicle Technicians with development where needed
- If suitably qualified, supporting less skilled Vehicle Technicians in diagnosing all types of issues, guiding them to be highly efficient.
To be eligible, you will need to be qualified to IMI/NVQ Level 2 in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair as a minimum. You will need to hold a UK driving license with minimal points, be a committed individual and be a good team player who has a "mentor mindset" where they're happy to share their knowledge and expertise with the rest of the workshop when applicable.
