About The Business
We are a highly respected, long-established automotive main dealer with over 100 years of heritage proudly serving motorists across Kent. While we have grown into one of the leading names in the region, we have never lost our family-run DNA. Here, the directors know your name, and your hard work is noticed, valued, and rewarded. This is a cracking dealer to work for—combining top-tier main dealer professional standards with a warm, personal culture where you are treated like a person, not a statistic.
What We Offer (The Perks)
- Basic salary from £32,000 to £42,000 (negotiable based on experience).
- Performance-driven productivity bonus and paid Saturday overtime (OTE £50,000+).
- Monday to Friday standard working week, 08:00 – 17:30 (45-hour week).
- Minimal Saturday mornings on a 1-in-3 rotational basis, fully paid as extra income.
- Full manufacturer academy training with clear pathways to Master Tech status.
- Fully funded official MOT licence training and advanced Electric & Hybrid certification.
- Comprehensive tool insurance scheme.
- Generous staff and family discounts on vehicle purchases, servicing, MOTs, and parts.
- Total job security with a trusted group backing you for the long term.
Why This Position Is Different
- Tired of feeling like a number in a massive, faceless corporation? Enjoy a supportive, close-knit environment with massive earning potential, clear manufacturer backing, and a team that genuinely looks after one another.
- Work across a true mix of high-spec passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs), offering you a unique environment to rapidly build your technical expertise so things never get repetitive.
- Get the best of both worlds: handle both cars and vans in an immaculate, modern, and highly equipped workshop environment where you can truly build a long-term career.
What You'll Be Doing
- Carrying out routine servicing, maintenance, and vehicle health checks to exceptional standards across both cars and vans.
- Working on modern alternative-fuel vehicles, performing routine diagnostics, safety checks, and repairs on advanced Electric & Hybrid systems.
- Utilizing modern main dealer diagnostic equipment to fault-find and resolve complex mechanical and electrical issues on a diverse fleet of passenger and commercial vehicles.
- Completing repairs right the first time while maintaining a clean, safe, and professional workshop environment.
- Collaborating closely with the workshop team and service desk to ensure smooth customer turnaround.
Are You The One? (Requirements)
- Qualifications: Level 3 qualified in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent).
- Experience: Experience working on both cars and vans (LCVs) is highly desirable, though technicians with a strong background in either who are keen to learn both are encouraged to apply.
- Training: Open to technicians looking to gain their MOT licence or level up their EV/Hybrid credentials through our fully funded academy.
- Location: Ideally located for an easy commute from surrounding areas like Sturry, Chartham, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Faversham, Ashford, Thanet, or Dover.
- Traits: A reliable team player with a meticulous eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and a full UK driving licence.
