Looking for a role where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and your future feels secure? This is an exciting opportunity for a Level 3 Vehicle Technician to join a thriving workshop that is soon relocating to a brand‑new, state‑of‑the‑art facility.

Why This Role Stands Out: As a Vehicle Technician, you’ll be joining a highly experienced team, with long‑standing technicians who have been part of the business for anywhere between 5 and 27 years. Stability, support, and genuine career longevity are part of the culture here. You’ll also work closely with an experienced Workshop Manager and Workshop Controller, giving you direct access to expert guidance, mentorship, and technical insight — the perfect environment to grow your skills and confidence.

What You’ll Be Working On as a Vehicle Technician: A mix of company‑owned and fleet‑managed vehicles. Guaranteed workload from national and regional key accounts. Around 800 vehicles, predominantly light commercial vans (90–95%) with a small proportion of cars. This variety ensures consistency, job security, and the chance to broaden your technical capabilities across multiple vehicle types.

Training & Development: You’ll have access to an industry‑leading training school, continuous professional development opportunities, and a supportive team that wants to see you succeed. This is one of the UK’s most forward‑thinking fleet workshop environments — a place where you can genuinely build a long‑term career.

About the Organisation: With more than 60 branches nationwide, this is one of the UK’s leading providers of light commercial vehicle solutions, supporting a wide range of well‑known organisations. The business is recognised for its innovation, reliability, and commitment to customer support. It also forms part of a wider mobility group operating across the UK, Ireland, and Spain, and has been recognised with a prestigious national award for its commitment to opportunity and social mobility.

A Workplace Where Everyone Can Thrive: The organisation is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful environment. Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. Adjustments during the recruitment process are available on request.
