Are you a skilled Vehicle Technician looking for a great work-life balance and a relaxed, supportive environment? Want to work somewhere where teamwork is more than just a buzzword? This could be the opportunity for you!
The Company: Our client is a thriving, independently run mechanical and accident repair centre based in Sutton, Greater London. With 13 dedicated staff members across both mechanical and bodyshop departments, they offer a friendly, cooperative workplace where everyone pulls together. Operating from a 3-ramp workshop and supported by a knowledgeable front-of-house team (including a Master Technician handling customer-facing duties), they’re now looking to welcome a talented Vehicle Technician into their tight-knit crew.
The Role: As a Vehicle Technician, you’ll handle a variety of mechanical work across all makes and models, including:
1. Servicing, general maintenance, and mechanical repairs
2. Diagnostics and fault finding
3. Supporting workshop efficiency as part of a close-knit team
While MOTs are not carried out onsite, the business works closely with a trusted local MOT partner. This means more time on the tools and less time dealing with compliance and paperwork.
What’s on Offer:
4. £38,500 basic salary – fixed to maintain team parity
5. Company-wide profit share bonus – typically adds ~£2,000 p.a. in good years
6. 40-hour work week – no weekends
7. 21 days holiday + bank holidays
8. Business closes over Christmas & New Year (some days taken from holiday, others fully paid!)
9. Opportunity to earn up to £550 in referral commission for non-fault accident claims via their successful in-house scheme
10. Private work after hours allowed upon completion of a successful trial period and keyholder approval
11. Relaxed, team-oriented environment – everyone helps each other, no egos
Who We’re Looking For:
12. Fully qualified Vehicle Technician (Level 2 or 3 NVQ/IMI or equivalent) preferred
13. Consideration given to newly qualified or less experienced techs – salary would reflect this
14. Confident working independently and as part of a team
15. Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail
16. Honest, professional attitude with a sense of pride in your work
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business that genuinely cares about its people. You’ll be part of a well-respected, locally trusted operation that values collaboration, quality workmanship, and a healthy work-life balance.
