The Role

You'll be joining our commercial store in Hamilton as an experienced Fleet Service Technician, keeping our customers' fleet vehicles rolling safely and on time.

• Tyre fitting, maintenance and repairs - in-store and on-site at customer locations
• Keeping job cards and records accurate and up to date
• Delivering great customer service, face-to-face and over the phone
• Once you're up to speed, occasional on-call weekend work (rostered, not random)

• Great with people - customers and teammates alike
• Reliable, punctual, and takes pride in doing things right
