  • Support other workshop technicians and share technical knowledge where appropriate.
  • Carry out MOT testing where qualified and required.
What We're Looking For:
  • Proven experience as a Vehicle Technician, Diagnostic Technician or Senior Technician.
  • Strong fault-finding and diagnostic abilities across mechanical and electrical systems.
  • Relevant automotive qualifications, ideally to Level 3 or equivalent.
  • An MOT testing licence would be desirable but is not essential.
  • Experience with modern vehicle technology, electrical systems or EVs would be beneficial.
  • A reliable, professional approach with a strong work ethic and attention to detail.
  • Someone who takes pride in their work, works well within a team and is happy to help colleagues.
  • A full UK driving licence is preferred but not essential.
What's on Offer:
  • Basic salary of £32,000 – £34,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
  • Additional bonus earning potential.
  • Monday to Friday working hours, generally around 7:30am – 5:00pm.

  • No weekend working expected.
  • 25 days' annual holiday, with Christmas off.
  • Access to further technical training, including electrical systems and EV qualifications.
