Job description

Are you passionate about cars, 4x4s, and motorsport? Do you want to turn your mechanical skills into a career where every day is different — from off-road builds to race prep and performance upgrades?

Join one of the UK's leading independent 4x4 and performance vehicle specialists, where innovation, craftsmanship, and teamwork drive everything we do. Whether you're an experienced Vehicle Technician or a hands‑on Car Mechanic with no formal qualifications, we'll train you, support you, and help you develop advanced skills in fabrication, diagnostics, welding, and EV systems.

About the Role

You'll work on an exciting variety of vehicles — from rugged 4x4s and custom builds to performance upgrades and race‑spec conversions. This is a hands‑on, high-energy role in a well‑equipped, forward‑thinking workshop where no two days are the same.

As part of our in‑house motorsport race team, you'll also have opportunities to get involved with off‑road events and competitions, both in the UK and abroad.

What You'll Be Doing

• Carry out servicing, diagnostics, and repairs on 4x4s, race vehicles, and road cars
• Assist with fabrication, welding, and custom modification projects
• Diagnose and repair electrical, air conditioning, and hybrid / EV systems
• Prepare and maintain race vehicles for events and testing
• Work collaboratively in a friendly, skilled workshop team
• Maintain exceptional standards of safety, accuracy, and workmanship

What's on Offer

• Salary: Up to £50,000 per year (depending on experience)
• Hours: Monday to Friday – no weekend work
• Training: Hands‑on development in mechanical, fabrication, welding, air con, electrical, and EV systems
• Benefits:
  • 30 days' paid annual leave including bank holidays
  • Private healthcare after probation
  • Staff discount scheme – major supplier discounts
  • Summer & Winter company events
  • Free work clothing and PPE
  • Trust scheme for doctor and dentist visits without using holiday
  • Free on‑site parking
  • Opportunities to join the race team at events across the UK and overseas

What We're Looking For

• Hands‑on car mechanic or vehicle technician experience (no formal qualification required)
• Experience or interest in 4x4s, race vehicles, fabrication, or diagnostics
• A team player with a proactive, problem‑solving mindset
• Enthusiasm for motorsport, performance tuning, or off‑road engineering
• Commitment to delivering work of the highest standard

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't your typical garage job — it's a chance to become part of a specialist automotive workshop and motorsport race team that values passion, curiosity, and technical excellence.

You’ll gain rare hands‑on experience across multiple disciplines, learn from experts, and work on some of the most exciting projects in the automotive world.

If you're searching for vehicle technician jobs, car mechanic roles, or 4x4 and motorsport technician careers, this is an opportunity to accelerate your future in an environment built on innovation and teamwork.
