Location: Edenbridge Area (Free secure parking)

Hours: Monday – Friday only. Strictly No Weekends!

• The Pay: A guaranteed, reliable base of up to £35,000. Your income doesn't depend on frantic fast-fit targets.
• The Hours: Monday to Friday only. Friday evening means tools down—your weekends are 100% your own.
• The Growth: Group-level job security and clear promotion paths across 3 sites, with the supportive feel of a family run local business.
• The Work: Escape basic component-swapping. You will work on an engaging, ever-changing mix of modern daily drivers and premium prestige models.
• The Support: Work directly with senior diagnostic pros who will mentor you, share trade secrets, and help you upgrade your skillset.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Core Mechanical Work: Building confidence on full brake overhauls, steering geometry, and suspension repairs.
• Introduction to Diagnostics: Learning to use modern multi-make diagnostic platforms to read codes and trace faults.
• Heavy Repair Support: Gaining hands-on experience with timing chains, clutches, and belt replacements under senior guidance.
• Servicing: Carrying out high-standard scheduled maintenance and vehicle safety health checks.

Requirements:

• Around 2 years of professional workshop experience (independent, fast-fit, or main dealer).
• NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent).
• A reliable team player hungry to step away from basic tire-fitting and level up.
• A full UK driving licence.
