- Use manufacturer diagnostics, specialist software, and workshop equipment to identify root causes of vehicle concerns.
- Support software updates, system calibrations, and vehicle commissioning activities.
- Prepare, maintain, and support prototype and development vehicles for testing programmes.
- Work closely with engineers to provide technical feedback and support ongoing vehicle development activities.
- Record findings, repairs, and corrective actions accurately.
- Ensure all work is completed in line with Health & Safety, environmental, and quality requirements.
What We're Looking For
- NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair or equivalent.
- Minimum 3 years' experience within an automotive workshop, prototype, development, or manufacturer environment.
- Proven experience in vehicle diagnostics, electrical fault finding, and mechanical repair.
- Strong knowledge of internal combustion engine systems, including engine operation, fuel systems, cooling systems, emissions systems, and associated fault diagnosis.
- Ability to confidently investigate and resolve complex vehicle faults independently. xsabvtc
