This role is really suited to someone who takes ownership and pride in the work they do. Who also enjoys meeting different people every day and ensuring that our customers have the best repairs experience possible. This role also offers genuine progression opportunities, many of our operatives go on to gain further qualifications or take up team leader, supervisory or secondment roles internally when they arise.
