- Ground-Floor Opportunity: Be a foundational part of our brand-new workshop launch. You will have a real voice in the workshop, working alongside a friendly leadership team that always has your back.
- Pace Over Pressure: We prioritise fixed-right-first-time mechanical integrity over rushing vehicles through the doors to hit unrealistic corporate volume targets.

- Utilising modern workshop diagnostic equipment to execute advanced electrical and mechanical fault-finding.

Are You The One? (Requirements)
- Experience: Proven, professional hands-on experience as a Vehicle Technician or Car Mechanic inside a professional garage or dealership.
