Job description

Vehicle Technician – Armed Forces & Veterans

Location: Doncaster
Positions: 8 Permanent Opportunities
Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

Take your military engineering experience into civilian automotive

Major Forces is recruiting 8 Vehicle Technicians for a major automotive operation in Doncaster.

This is an opportunity we know works for the Armed Forces community because we have already successfully placed military personnel into these roles.

If you have developed your vehicle maintenance and engineering experience during your military career but haven't previously worked within the UK commercial automotive sector, that does not rule you out.

Previous UK commercial automotive experience is not required.

What you'll be doing

Working within a large automotive operation, your responsibilities will include:

• Vehicle inspection and fault diagnosis

• Mechanical servicing and maintenance

• Identifying and repairing mechanical and electrical faults

• Carrying out repairs and component replacement

• Working in accordance with technical and safety procedures

• Accurately recording completed work

• Supporting vehicle preparation and refurbishment activities

• Working as part of an established technical team

What we're looking for

You must hold:

NVQ Level 3 / IMI Level 3 in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair, or an accepted equivalent qualification.

We're particularly interested in hearing from:

• REME Vehicle Mechanics

• Armed Forces vehicle technicians

• Military mechanical and automotive engineers

• Service leavers currently in resettlement

• Veterans with relevant vehicle maintenance experience

Your military experience can be considered alongside your qualifications – you do not need previous UK commercial automotive experience to apply.

Develop your HV capability

You do not need to arrive with all of the available High Voltage qualifications.

There is a technical development pathway through:

Level 3 Vehicle Technician → HV Level 2 → HV Level 3 → HV Level 4 → HVT+

Training can be provided to develop your HV capability and support progression through the technical levels.

Why consider this opportunity?

For someone transitioning from the Armed Forces, securing that first civilian opportunity can often be the hardest step.

This role provides the opportunity to:

• Transfer your military engineering experience into civilian automotive

• Join an established, major automotive operation

• Gain UK commercial automotive experience

• Develop specialist electric and hybrid vehicle capability

• Work towards further HV technical qualifications

• Build a long-term civilian automotive career

Most importantly, other military personnel have already successfully made this transition through Major Forces into these roles.

Interested?

If you're currently serving, approaching your discharge date, in resettlement or have already left the Armed Forces, we'd like to hear from you.
