Job description

Bored of working on the exact same brand day in and day out? Or tired of the rigid, slow-moving corporate red tape of a main dealer? It is time to put your skills to the test on a massive, exciting variety of vehicles.

We are hiring a Vehicle Technician / Car Mechanic to join our busy, high-profile independent team in Swindon.

• Work productively alongside vehicle coordinators, sales teams, and fellow mechanics to maintain a smooth, efficient workshop flow.

What You Need

• Licensing: A full UK driving licence is essential. An active MOT Tester licence is preferred but not required.
• Equipment: Must possess your own hand tools to manage daily repair, diagnostic, and servicing tasks effectively.
