The role

Salary: £35,000 to £45,000 basic salary

Location: Plumpton Green (near Lewes)

About The Business

We are a highly successful, premier independent service and performance engineering centre with a stellar long-standing reputation built across 25 years of trusted workmanship. Based out of our exceptionally equipped workshops in Plumpton Green, we stand out as a genuine "all under one roof" specialist. We work on everything from everyday modern cars, vans, and 4x4s, to high-end prestige vehicles, sports cars, and cherished classics. We are a team of passionate, highly qualified professionals who pride ourselves on detail, precision, and first-class customer service.

The Perks (Straight to the Point)

  • £35,000 to £45,000 Basic: High, reliable basic salary package tailored strictly to your skill set and experience level.
  • No Weekends: A strict Monday to Friday schedule. Your weekends are entirely yours to relax and spend with family.
  • Incredible Workshop Variety: Say goodbye to the monotony of single-brand dealer environments. You will work on an incredibly diverse mix of standard multi-brand vehicles, 4x4s, performance cars, and prestige/classic engineering projects.
  • Elite Specialized Equipment: Work in a highly capable facility equipped for top-tier services, including advanced ECU remapping, fuel injector servicing, carbon cleaning, automated brake disc skimming, and advanced diagnostics.
  • Long-Term Job Security: A permanent contract within a respected local business that values elite workmanship over high-volume rushing.

Why This Position Is Different

  • A True Mechanic's Workshop: We cater to enthusiasts and everyday motorists alike. If you have a background or a keen interest in prestige garages, classic engineering, or sports and performance cars, you will thrive here.
  • Zero High-Volume Corporate Stress: We treat every vehicle and customer with equal respect and care. We focus on fixing things right the first time, giving you the time needed to execute high-quality diagnostic and mechanical work.
  • Expand Your Expertise: Due to our specialized service list (from auto-electrics to performance tuning), you will continually build on your technical repertoire and learn advanced skills outside the realm of a traditional fast-fit garage.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Carrying out routine servicing, mechanical maintenance, and safety inspections across a diverse fleet of cars, 4x4s, and light commercial vehicles.
  • Troubleshooting and rectifying complex electrical, electronic, and mechanical faults using specialized diagnostic equipment.
  • Assisting in premium specialist tasks such as vehicle remapping, system cleaning, brake restoration, and specialty vehicle repairs.
  • Prepping vehicles for MOT testing and carrying out essential mechanical/compliance work.
  • Collaborating smoothly with a close-knit, highly skilled team of professionals.

Are You The One? (Requirements)

  • Qualifications: Level 3 qualified Vehicle Technician (NVQ, City & Guilds, or an equivalent portfolio of deep workshop experience).
  • Experience: Proven experience working confidently across multiple makes and models. A background or familiarity with prestige vehicles, 4x4s, or auto-electrics is highly advantageous.
  • Skills: Strong multi-brand mechanical skills, competent diagnostic habits, and an eye for exceptional detail.
  • Must hold a full UK driving licence.
