Job description

You're already a good technician. You're looking for a workshop that lets you work like one.

At Auto response, we're looking for an experienced Automotive Technician to join our small, close-knit team.

This isn't a role for someone who still needs their hand held.

We're looking for a technician with a minimum 5 years' experience post-qualification, including experience in an independent workshop.

You need to be confident taking ownership of your jobs from start to finish. We're a multi-brand workshop, so you'll need to be comfortable with whatever rolls through the door.

We want someone who can think for themselves, diagnose properly, make good decisions and get the job done without needing someone looking over their shoulder.

You don't need to know everything. Nobody does.

But you do need to love this industry, enjoy solving problems and still want to learn.

Why You'll Enjoy Working With Us

$95,000–$105,000 + Super , based on experience and capability

The ability to work accurately and productively in a fast-paced workshop

Pride in your workmanship and a high standard of quality

A genuine love of the automotive industry

A desire to keep learning and improving

The attitude to pitch in and help your teammates when things get busy

Most importantly, we need someone we can trust with a job.

If you're given a vehicle, we expect you to be able to assess it, work through the problem, communicate what you find and get it finished properly.

Servicing and repairing a wide range of vehicle brands

Diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults

Carrying out inspections and identifying required repairs

Taking ownership of jobs from diagnosis through to completion

This Probably Isn't For You If...

You don't enjoy a busy workshop.

You're looking for somewhere you can coast through the day.

Or you've reached the point where you're no longer interested in learning your trade.

We're a small team. Every person matters, and we rely on each other.

We're looking for someone who wants to come in, get stuck into good work, have a laugh with the team and go home knowing they've had a productive day.
