Why This Position Is Different
Tired of feeling like a number in a massive, faceless corporation? Enjoy a supportive, close-knit environment with massive earning potential, clear manufacturer backing, and a team that genuinely looks after one another.
Work across a true mix of high-spec passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs), offering you a unique environment to rapidly build your technical expertise so things never get repetitive.
Get the best of both worlds: handle both cars and vans in an immaculate, modern, and highly equipped workshop environment where you can truly build a long-term career.
What You'll Be Doing
- Carrying out routine servicing, maintenance, and vehicle health checks to exceptional standards across both cars and vans.
- Working on modern alternative-fuel vehicles, performing routine diagnostics, safety checks, and repairs on advanced Electric & Hybrid systems.
- Utilizing modern main dealer diagnostic equipment to fault-find and resolve complex mechanical and electrical issues on a diverse fleet of passenger and commercial vehicles.
- Completing repairs right the first time while maintaining a clean, safe, and professional workshop environment.
- Collaborating closely with the workshop team and service desk to ensure smooth customer turnaround.
Are You The One? (Requirements)
- Qualifications: Level 3 qualified in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent).
- Experience: Experience working on both cars and vans (LCVs) is highly desirable, though technicians with a strong background in either who are keen to learn both are encouraged to apply.
- Training: Open to technicians looking to gain their MOT licence or level up their EV/Hybrid credentials through our fully funded academy.
- Location: Ideally located for an easy commute from surrounding areas like Sturry, Chartham, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Faversham, Ashford, Thanet, or Dover.
- Traits: A reliable team player with a meticulous eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and a full UK driving licence.
