Because have you tried turning it off and on again doesnt work on cars.

Vehicle Technician Independent Specialist Garage

up to 5000 bonus
MondayFriday 8:15am5:30pm 42.5 hours per week

Lets be honest. You didnt become a Vehicle Technician because you enjoy sitting behind a desk drinking lukewarm coffee and attending meetings about meetings.

You became a technician because you like fixing things.

And if you enjoy a bit of diagnostics a bit of mechanical work a bit of engine work and the occasional battle with a bolt that clearly hasnt been touched since 2009 this could be right up your street.

Were recruiting on behalf of an independent specialist garage looking for an experienced Vehicle Technician to join their team of four.

Youll have your own ramp your own workspace and a genuinely varied workload. No production line. No being stuck doing the same service job 14 times a day. Just good varied workshop work and the occasional opportunity to ask yourself Who designed this

The Role

The garage works on everything from current models through to vehicles around 15 years old so theres plenty to keep things interesting.

Youll be getting involved with:

• Diagnostics and fault finding
• Servicing and routine maintenance
• Mechanical repairs
• Engine work
• General workshop repairs
• Investigating noises that apparently werent there yesterday
• Fixing things that someone else has already tried to fix
• Working out what the manufacturer was thinking when they designed that particular component

In short its a proper mixed-bag technician role.

Youll have your own ramp and dedicated work area so you can get on with the job without someone constantly asking if youve had a look at that one yet

What Were Looking For

Were looking for an experienced Vehicle Technician who knows their way around a workshop and doesnt need Google to tell them which end of a ratchet to hold.

Youll need good diagnostic and mechanical skills the ability to work independently and pride in doing a job properly.

Mercedes experience would be preferred but its not essential.

More important is that youre a competent all-round technician who can look at a fault diagnose the problem and fix it without replacing half the car just in case.

If you can hear a funny noise from 20 feet away and immediately say Thatll be the even better.

Whats On Offer

• salary depending on experience
• Up to 5000 bonus
• MondayFriday 8:15am5:30pm
• 42.5 hours per week
• 4 weeks holiday long-service leave
• Unpaid leave can be accommodated where required
• Free on-site parking
• Your own ramp and dedicated work area
• A genuinely varied workload
• Vehicles ranging from current models through to around 15 years old
• Own work permitted after successful completion of probation
• A small experienced workshop team
• An independent specialist environment
• Plenty of autonomy without the usual dealership circus

Why You Might Like It

This isnt a huge dealership where youre just another pair of hands and your day is dictated by a job card printer that seems to have a personal grudge against you.

Its a small independent specialist garage where youll know the people you work with have your own space and get to work on a proper variety of vehicles.

Youll get the good jobs the awkward jobs the interesting jobs and inevitably the jobs where you stare at the car for five minutes wondering who thought that was a sensible place to put a bolt.

If that sounds like your kind of workshop we should probably have a chat.

And if youve ever said itll only take 10 minutes and then still been working on it two hours later youll fit right in.
