Our client, one of the UK's largest independent automotive dealer groups operating since 1999, is currently looking to recruit a Vehicle Technician for their franchise-approved car dealership located in Oxford.

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.
  • Conducting electronic vehicle health checks (eVHCs) in line with our client's standards.
  • Completing EV work (if qualified) and hydraulic repairs safely and efficiently, working in line with manufacturer standards.
  • Using your expertise in diagnostic tools and software to identify and resolve hard-to-find issues.
  • 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. You must be able to produce high-quality work in a busy franchise-approved dealership environment and be motivated to work towards targets set for your team. An active MOT licence would be beneficial, but is non-essential.

  • Starting salary between £32-36,000 per annum, pending experience/qualifications. 
  • Performance-related bonus scheme and overtime providing on-target annual earnings of £45,000 per annum.

  • Various additional benefits, including a pension scheme, health care provisions, staff purchase discounts, and access to an online shopping discounts portal, amongst others. 
  • Fantastic long-term career prospects with one of the UK's largest independent automotive dealer groups operating since 1999, and a state-of-the-art working environment.
  • 40-hour week. Either 8:00am-5:00pm or 8:30am-5:30pm Monday to Friday, with an hour lunch, and 1 in 3/4 Saturdays 8:30am-12:30pm, paid as overtime.
