This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Vehicle Technician who enjoys working independently and wants the freedom and variety that comes with a mobile role.
The position is predominantly focused on commercial vehicles, with around 95% of the workload involving vans, particularly Ford Transits.

- Maintaining accurate job records and paperwork.
- Providing excellent customer service and representing the business professionally.
- Managing your own workload and working independently across the local area.
The role covers a broad range of work, with the exception of engine replacements, cylinder head work, clutches and high-voltage work.
There may also be occasions where you are required to stay away overnight to meet business requirements. This would be discussed with you in advance and arranged with consideration for your personal circumstances.

- The ability to work independently and manage your own workload.
- Excellent communication and customer service skills.
- A full UK driving licence.
- A positive attitude and a commitment to delivering high-quality workmanship.
Ford dealer experience would be ideal, particularly candidates with good knowledge of Ford warranty procedures. However, applications will also be considered from experienced technicians with main dealer experience with other manufacturers.
Benefits:
- Time Saved Bonus Plan.
- Overtime available when required
- No weekend working.
- Fully equipped Ford Transit company vehicle.
