The Ride of Your Life Our client, a slick Automotive mechanical Fleet Workshop, who is looking for a Vehicle Technician to join their crew after a teammate leveled up to a new role. You’ll be working on everything from zippy motorcycles to high-performance cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) in a relaxed yet pro workshop in Crawley. Think less “corporate chaos,” more “chill vibes with top-tier tools.”
Whether you’re a seasoned wrench-turner or an NVQ Level 2 grad with a hunger to grow, our client’s got your back with training and support to take your skills to the next level. Ready to work on cutting-edge tech like ULEV (electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered vehicles)? This is your chance to shine!
What You’ll Be Doing
5. Wielding your diagnostic superpowers to service and repair vehicles to manufacturer standards.
6. Testing, troubleshooting, and fixing electrical and mechanical systems like a automotive detective.
7. Handling emergency repairs (sometimes on the road—think of it as a field trip!).
8. Inspecting vehicles for roadworthiness and keeping wear-and-tear in check.
9. Commissioning and decommissioning vehicles, including installing/removing specialist gear.
What You Bring to the Garage
10. Know-how with modern diagnostic equipment (you’re basically a car whisperer).
11. A passion for quality work and a clean workspace (no oily rags left behind!).
12. Team player vibes and solid communication skills.
13. Minimum NVQ Level 2 in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair (or equivalent).
14. A UK Driver’s License is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
15. A thirst for learning new tech—electric, hybrid, hydrogen, oh my!
Why This Job’s a Total Win Our client isn’t just offering a job; they’re handing you the keys to a rewarding career:
16. 37-hour workweek (Mon-Fri) with flexi-time and optional overtime.
17. 25 days holiday (plus bank hols), bumping up to 29 days after 5 years.
18. No weekend shifts—your Saturdays are for car shows or Netflix binges.
19. Top-notch pension scheme and enhanced sick pay.
20. Paid paternity/maternity leave and flexible working options.
21. Free onsite parking (because who has time for parking wars?).
22. Discounts at high street/online stores (new tools, anyone?).
23. Training & career progression to keep your skills sharper than a torque wrench.
24. Staff support networks and sports/social clubs for that community feel.
25. A chance to give back while working on vehicles that serve the public.
