Overview
Still love being on the tools but also helping others grow? Would you like sharing your knowledge to be an official part of your role, while still managing your own workload and performance? This role blends hands-on work with the opportunity to mentor, lead, and make a real impact.
At Ferdotti's, we take great pride in our roots as a long-standing family business - but we're equally focused on the future. We're committed to investing in our people, and we're especially passionate about the academy because it ensures our team always stays up to date with the latest tools, technology, and techniques. In this fast-moving industry, it means no one gets left behind - our technicians stay confident, capable, and constantly developing.
At the same time, we value the importance of a stable, skilled team that works well together and supports one another.
We're now looking for a Senior Vehicle Technician - someone with strong technical ability who takes pride in doing the job right, and who enjoys helping others reach that same standard.
About the Role
This is more than just a technician job. As a Senior Vehicle Technician, you'll be part of a forward-thinking and unified team where your role is both hands-on and people-focused:
* Undertaking diagnostics, servicing and repairs to a high standard.
* Leading by example - setting the tone with your quality of work and professionalism.
* Supporting and coaching junior and mid-level technicians as part of your day-to-day work.
* Sharing your knowledge in a structured way, not just informally and ad-hoc.
* Maintaining your own performance and efficiency targets while contributing to the wider success of the team.
It's the kind of role that suits someone who still enjoys getting stuck in, but also finds real reward in passing on their experience to others.
What We Offer
Fantastic facilities: A modern, well-equipped workshop and our own in-house training academy.
Genuine Development: Ongoing training - not just for the technical side, but for mentoring and coaching too.
Progressive and Practical: We keep up with the latest tools and techniques, but we also value consistency and long-term commitment.
A Supportive Culture: We're big on teamwork and making the workplace enjoyable - for example, our Thursday breakfasts (beans on toast, anyone?) have become a bit of a tradition.
No Weekends! Just Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm - your work/life balance is important to us.
What We're Looking For
* An experienced and professional Vehicle Technician (Level 3 or equivalent) who is looking for that step into a Senior Vehicle Technician role.
* Someone who takes pride in their work and genuinely wants to help others succeed.
* A confident communicator who can guide, support and encourage those around them.
* A team player who can maintain strong individual efficiency while still making time for others.
What's in It for You?
* Salary: GBP40,000 - GBP45,000 depending on experience (plus a GBP500 sign-on bonus which will be payable after 3 full months service).
* Bonus Scheme: With realistic and achievable targets GBP3000 OTE.
* 28 Days Annual Leave: With loyalty rewards the longer you're with us.
* Excellent Equipment & Facilities: Including access to our on-site training academy.
* A Stable, Friendly Team: Where your experience and input won't go unnoticed.
* Wellbeing Perks: 24/7 access to an online GP and counsellor, prescriptions to order, discounted gym membership, online eye-tests and much more!
