• Strong understanding of vehicle mechanics and electrics.
• Sound knowledge of vehicle diagnostics.
• Good problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Hold a valid UK driving license.

Additional Information:

• Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 17.00pm ( with 1/2 hour for lunch ).
• 22 days + Bank Holidays ( period runs from 1st Jan to 31st Dec ).
• It is expected that employees will use their own hand tools.
• Training is provided where required.
• Good long-term prospects within a long-established company.

Salary is dependent on skill level and experience.
