What You’ll Be Doing

In this hands‑on workshop role, you will work across an exceptionally popular, diverse lineup of fresh retail stock, customer cars, and commercial vans, ensuring every job is executed to strict main‑dealer standards. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting routine servicing, manufacturer‑scheduled maintenance, and high‑quality mechanical and electrical repairs.
  • Diagnosing complex vehicle faults efficiently using cutting‑edge, official dealer‑level diagnostic equipment.
  • Performing comprehensive multi‑point health checks to provide customers with the highest level of assurance (including premium manufacturer aftersales packages like complimentary breakdown cover integration).
  • Maintaining precise electronic records of work completed and communicating effectively with the service and parts team regarding timelines.
  • Collaborating with a friendly, professional, and close‑knit crew of technicians to minimize vehicle turnaround times.

What We Are Looking For

  • No formal qualifications required —we value proven workshop experience, confidence on the tools, and strong mechanical know‑how above anything else.
  • Solid experience in vehicle servicing, rapid preparation work, and diagnostic analysis (main dealer or franchise experience is a plus but not essential).
  • A proactive team player with excellent time‑management skills and a commitment to high workmanship standards.
  • The adaptability to work efficiently across various vehicle models, generations, and advanced hybrid/electric systems.
