We are currently looking for an experienced MOT Tester and Maintenance Technician to come and join our team at Kia Doncaster. We offer a market‑leading salary and bonus scheme, with full details to be discussed during interview.
About The Business
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can‑do attitude. Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you!
About You
Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will vary depending on your experience and qualifications. In this role, you’ll carry out MOT testing alongside a range of maintenance and repair work, including tasks such as tyre fitting, servicing, and basic mechanical repairs. This position is ideal for someone looking to build on their existing skills, with opportunities to develop further into more advanced mechanical work over time, should the candidate wish to progress. We are welcoming applications from Technicians who are NVQ level 3 trained or equivalent. Experience working within a busy volume franchised dealer environment is an advantage but not crucial if you currently work at an independent garage/dealer.
What Will You Need To Succeed In The Role
- Drive, passion and enthusiasm to succeed.
- Demonstrate capability and confidence in using equipment within the workshop safely.
- At least NVQ level 3 trained with work experience in a franchised dealer or independent garage.
- MOT Tester essential.
- Experience in used car prep.
- High Voltage certification is desirable, but not expected.
What We Offer
- A competitive salary and bonus package.
- We offer a retention scheme worth up to £10,000 which increases with length of service.
- Long service rewards.
- A range of training and leadership development programmes.
- Manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need to be working for part of a franchise.
- 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, increasing with length of service.
- Preferential service rates and repairs including family and friends vehicles.
- A workplace pension scheme.
- Cycle to work scheme.
If you have worked in retail previously, you will be glad to know we close Easter Sunday, Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
Working Hours
Working hours are 8.30‑5, Monday to Friday. Saturday mornings 8:00‑12:30. You will require a Full UK driver's licence and have your own tools.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability or other characteristics.
