Our client, a franchise-approved car dealership based in Oxford, is currently recruiting a Vehicle Technician to join its busy Service Department. 
 
Reporting to the Service Manager and working alongside a friendly workshop team, as a Vehicle Technician, your main duties will include carrying out fault diagnosis, service, and repair on vehicles as instructed to the standards laid down by our client. Vehicle Technicians need to ensure faults are accurately diagnosed and report to the Service Manager as required on vehicle condition, safety, reliability and performance. You will need to ensure that health & safety and work quality procedures relating to the task at hand laid down by our client are adhered to at all times.  
 
To be eligible, you will need to be a fully qualified Vehicle Technician to IMI/NVQ Level 2 or equivalent in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair as a minimum, and ideally at least several years’ technical experience post-qualification.
