Job description

Level 3 Vehicle Technician / MOT Tester
Avonmouth, Bristol

£38,000 £45,000 DOE | MondayFriday | 8:00am5:00pm

Join a garage where quality comes first

Are you a fully qualified Level 3 Vehicle Technician who also holds an MOT Testing licence?

Are you looking for a role where you can use your technical skills, continue developing your knowledge and work for a business that genuinely values its people?

Our client is a well-established family-owned independent automotive business in Avonmouth, Bristol, with a loyal customer base and an excellent reputation for quality workmanship and customer service.

Following their move to a modern, purpose-outfitted facility, they are looking for two experienced Level 3 Technicians/ MOT Testers to join their established team.

This isn't a numbers game

The business takes pride in doing things properly.

Their Class 4 and Class 7 MOT facility operates as an ATL lane, and typically allows around 1 hour 15 minutes per MOT.

Why?

Because they want technicians to have the time to carry out a thorough MOT and complete a proper vehicle health check rather than simply rushing vehicles through the lane.

Quality over quantity.

What we're looking for

You’ll need to be a fully qualified Level 3 Vehicle Technician with a current MOT Testing licence and strong practical experience across general vehicle maintenance and repair.

You’ll ideally have experience with:

• Servicing and routine maintenance
• Mechanical repairs
• Brakes, suspension and steering
• Clutches and timing systems
• Fault finding and diagnostics
• Electrical systems
• MOT testing
• Vehicle health checks
• Working across a wide range of makes and models

We're particularly interested in technicians who are confident with diagnostics and more complex fault finding, rather than those who only want to concentrate on routine servicing and MOTs.

More than just your qualifications

Technical ability is important.

But so is the person behind the tools.

Our client is looking for technicians who are:

Professional
Respectful
Reliable
Good communicators
Customer-focused
Team players
Keen to learn
Proud of their workmanship

You’ll be joining a team where long service is valued and where people are treated with respect.

Training that actually means something

One of the things that makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the company’s approach to training and development.

They routinely support their technicians in achieving higher qualifications and developing their technical capabilities.

And it’s not simply training dictated by the business.

Technicians are encouraged to identify areas where they want to develop, and where appropriate, the company will support those requests with further training and qualifications.

So if you’re the type of technician who wants to keep learning, develop your diagnostic skills or work towards higher qualifications:

This is a business prepared to invest in you.
