What We Need: * ✅ NVQ Level 3 equivalent or higher. * ✅ At least 5 years’ experience (preferably with vans). * ✅ Experience working as a vehicle technician for at least 3 years. * ✅ Confident in all aspects of mechanics, with a genuine passion for the trade. * ✅ Proficient in diagnostics – able to pinpoint and fix issues quickly. * ✅ Capable of handling larger jobs such as clutch replacements and timing chains without hesitation. * ✅ Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently. * ✅ Valid driver’s licence. What We Offer: * £35,000 - £45,000 salary (depending on experience). * Weekly Pay – Get paid every week. * Monday to Friday, 08:30 AM - 5:30 PM (Optional Saturday Overtime). * Holiday Leave – Paid time off to relax. * Sick Leave – Support when you need it. * Company Pension – Eligible after trial period. * Real Career Growth – Be the driving force behind our new garage setup
