Job description

We are looking for Technicians to join our team at Kia Doncaster. We offer a market-leading salary and bonus scheme, with full details to be discussed during the interview. Want to progress? We can do that too. Manufacturer training awaits anyone with the passion and enthusiasm to succeed. So, whether you are a qualified Master Technician with a Franchised Retailer or a mechanic at an independent garage wanting to get to that next level, come and talk to us.

About The Business

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you even if you have no experience of the automotive industry.

We offer manufacture training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world class sales trainer who will give you everything you need to be a “top one percenter”. We’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package, flexible working hours and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.

What You Need To Succeed

• Demonstrate capability and confidence in using equipment within the workshop safely.
• At least NVQ level 3 trained with work experience in a franchised dealer or independent garage.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary and bonus package.
• We offer a retention scheme worth up to £10,000 which increases with length of service.
