Descrizione del lavoro

We keep people moving when their plans are disrupted. This role is for experienced vehicle technicians who like variety, autonomy and being the person who makes the call at the roadside. You’ll start and finish from home, run your day from a fully equipped van, and use your diagnostic skills and judgement to get customers safely back on the road or arrange recovery when that’s the right choice.

If you prefer field-based work, clear outcomes, and direct customer contact over a workshop environment, you’ll fit here.

• Ongoing training, including EV Level 3 IMI Accredited and ATA Level 3 roadside diagnostics if you aren’t already qualified

What are the key responsibilities of the role?

• Attend roadside assistance calls, assess the situation, diagnose faults using modern diagnostic tools, and repair at scene wherever safe and possible so customers can continue their journey.
• Make practical, safety-led decisions on repair versus recovery; when needed, arrange professional recovery and dealer workshop attention.

• Operate and maintain your fully equipped van, manage tools and parts, follow safety procedures, and keep accurate notes in our systems.

What are the key requirements?

• Proven experience as a vehicle or roadside technician who can work independently at the scene; this matters because you’ll often be the sole decision-maker and fixer on site.
