About you

You’re an experienced fitter or automotive technician who can work independently and knows when to ask for a second opinion. You care about getting things right and understand that good workmanship includes looking after the customer’s vehicle.

Experience fitting automotive accessories, ideally across a range of vehicles and products

Strong mechanical skills and confidence with accessory wiring and fault-finding

A careful, practical approach to problem-solving

Clear communication and a willingness to help your teammates

A light vehicle mechanic qualification or another relevant automotive trade qualification would be highly regarded.

The workshop will be your main focus, but you should also be comfortable speaking with customers and helping out on the sales side when needed. You don’t need to be a polished salesperson. Practical knowledge, a helpful attitude and honest advice matter.
