Overview
We are currently looking for a Level 2 or 3 Vehicle Technician to join our family run business at our Ossett site. We are looking for candidates who are either Level 2 or 3 trained, looking to complete their training and further their career through Brand Accreditation, to join us at D M Keith!
About Us
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 100 car dealers in the country. Across our 21 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you!
