We’re looking for a skilled Roadside Technician to join a busy patrol team, providing professional roadside assistance to motorists across the local area. You’ll use your mechanical and diagnostic expertise to identify faults, carry out repairs and get customers safely back on the road.
You’ll work locally and start and finish your shifts from home, giving you the freedom and responsibility to manage your day while responding to a variety of roadside breakdowns.
The Role
As a Roadside Technician, your day could involve anything from a flat battery or puncture to more involved diagnostic work and mechanical repairs. No two call-outs are the same, so you’ll need to be confident working independently and making sound decisions under pressure.

- Using modern diagnostic equipment to identify vehicle faults
- Attending breakdowns and providing a professional, customer-focused service
- Carrying out battery, tyre and other roadside repairs
- Ensuring customers receive clear advice and reassurance
- Working safely and efficiently while maintaining high technical standards
You’ll need to meet one of the following:
- NVQ Level 2 in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with at least 2 years’ relevant experience
- 5+ years’ experience working as a Vehicle Technician or Mechanic
You’ll also need:
- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
- Strong mechanical and diagnostic skills
- The ability to work independently and confidently in a roadside environment
- A customer-focused approach and excellent communication skills
- The ability to remain calm and professional when working under pressure
Benefits:
- Realistic OTE of up to £60,000, with additional earning opportunities
- Enhanced overtime and bonus opportunities
- Company van, fuel card and full uniform
- Full diagnostic equipment and essential tools provided
- 23 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service
- Pension with up to 6.5% matched contributions
- Life assurance
- Free breakdown cover
- Salary sacrifice car scheme, including electric vehicle options after 12 months
- Employee share scheme
- 24/7 wellbeing and confidential support
- Discounts on tools, technology, holidays and more
This is more than a traditional workshop-based technician position. You’ll have the opportunity to use your technical expertise in a varied environment where every day brings a different challenge.
