Junior Vehicle Build Technician
PROJECT 88 | Full-time | 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
The Role
Start your career building and restoring classic Series Land Rovers and Defenders at PROJECT 88. You’ll work alongside an experienced team, learning the skills and standards needed to help bring each vehicle from donor condition to finished build.
You don’t need previous Land Rover experience. We’re looking for someone practical, curious and reliable, who takes pride in doing a job properly and is keen to develop their mechanical skills.
What You’ll Be Doing
With support from experienced technicians, you’ll:
- Help strip donor vehicles and label, organise and catalogue components
- Clean and assess parts, reporting damage or wear to the team
- Assist with chassis, suspension and drivetrain builds
- Help assemble bodywork after paint
- Install pre-made wiring looms and fit trim, lights and galvanised components
- Keep build notes and records up to date
- Maintain a clean, safe and organised workshop
- Ad-hoc driving to suppliers and our other facility
As your skills develop, you’ll take on more responsibility and work towards completing tasks independently.
What We’re Looking For
- A genuine interest in vehicle mechanics and classic vehicles
- Some practical experience, whether from work, training or personal projects
- A methodical approach and good attention to detail
- Reliability, willingness to learn and the ability to work well in a team
- Pride in your work and care for tools, parts and the workshop
Welding or fabrication experience, a vehicle-mechanics qualification, a City & Guilds Automotive qualification and a driving licence are welcome, but not essential.
What We Offer
- Employed or self-employed contract options
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Support and hands-on learning from an experienced team
- Overtime opportunities and potential travel opportunities
- 40-hour week, Monday to Friday
- 25 days’ annual leave, increasing after two years’ service, plus statutory holidays
- Pension, cycle-to-work scheme and employee discount
- Company bonus
- Free on-site parking
- Company events and a supportive, ambitious team
This role is suited to someone at the start of their automotive career who wants to build practical skills in a specialist workshop. At PROJECT 88, you’ll help create distinctive, sought-after classics as the business grows.
Driving Licence required.
