• Carry out vehicle health checks and identify additional work where required.
• Perform MOT tests if qualified (this is not essential for the role).
• Ensure all work is completed efficiently while maintaining the highest standards.
• Work closely with colleagues to deliver excellent customer service and workshop productivity.

Your Background & Skills

• Previous experience as a Vehicle Technician is essential.
• Strong mechanical and diagnostic skills.
• MOT Tester licence is desirable but not essential.
• Experience gained within either an independent garage or main dealership will be considered.
• Level 3 qualification is advantageous.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
• A positive attitude with the ability to work well as part of a team.

What's On Offer?

• £40,000 - £50,000 Basic Salary depending on experience.
• Monday to Friday working only - no weekends.
• Modern, recently refurbished workshop with 5 service bays, a dedicated MOT bay and scissor lift bay.
• Ongoing technical training with access to unlimited manufacturer-supported training courses.
• Friendly, supportive workshop culture where everyone works together.
• Excellent work-life balance.
• Stable, well-established independent garage with an excellent local reputation.

If you're an experienced Vehicle Technician looking for a Monday to Friday role with a successful independent garage - if you happen to hold an MOT licence, even better, we'd love to hear from you.
