Vehicle Technician Wanted: Rev Up Your Career in Crawley!
  • Salary: £35,505 + Overtime (because who doesn’t love a bit of extra fuel in the tank?)
  • Location: Crawley, West Sussex
  • Hours: 37-hour week, Monday–Friday (weekends are for cruising, not working!)
  • Contract: Full-Time, Permanent + a pit stop full of epic benefits
The Ride of Your Life Our client, a slick Government Services Owned Workshop, is looking for a Vehicle Technician to join their crew after a teammate leveled up to a new role. You’ll be working on everything from zippy motorcycles to high-performance cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) in a relaxed yet pro workshop in Crawley. Think less “corporate chaos,” more “chill vibes with top-tier tools.”

Whether you’re a seasoned wrench-turner or an NVQ Level 2 grad with a hunger to grow, our client’s got your back with training and support to take your skills to the next level. Ready to work on cutting-edge tech like ULEV (electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vehicles)? This is your chance to shine!

What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Wielding your diagnostic superpowers to service and repair vehicles to manufacturer standards.
  • Testing, troubleshooting, and fixing electrical and mechanical systems like a automotive detective.
  • Handling emergency repairs (sometimes on the road—think of it as a field trip!).
  • Inspecting vehicles for roadworthiness and keeping wear-and-tear in check.
  • Commissioning and decommissioning vehicles, including installing/removing specialist gear.
What You Bring to the Garage:
  • Know-how with modern diagnostic equipment (you’re basically a car whisperer).
  • A passion for quality work and a clean workspace (no oily rags left behind!).
  • Team player vibes and solid communication skills.
  • Minimum NVQ Level 2 in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair (or equivalent).
  • A UK Driver’s License is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
  • A thirst for learning new tech—electric, hybrid, hydrogen, oh my!
Why This Job’s a Total Win Our client isn’t just offering a job; they’re handing you the keys to a rewarding career:
  • 37-hour workweek (Mon-Fri) with flexi-time and optional overtime.
  • 25 days holiday (plus bank hols), bumping up to 29 days after 5 years.
  • No weekend shifts—your Saturdays are for car shows or Netflix binges.
  • Top-notch pension scheme and enhanced sick pay.
  • Paid paternity/maternity leave and flexible working options.
  • Free onsite parking (because who has time for parking wars?).
  • Discounts at high street/online stores (new tools, anyone?).
  • Training & career progression to keep your skills sharper than a torque wrench.
  • Staff support networks and sports/social clubs for that community feel.
  • A chance to give back while working on vehicles that serve the public.
The Fine Print You’ll need a full UK driving license to road-test vehicles and zip between internal/external workshops.
