The Role
As a PDI Technician you will be processing vehicles through structured PDI checklists at a busy fleet prep centre before they reach the end customer.

* Full pre-delivery inspections on fleet vehicles to manufacturer and client checklists
* Identifying, recording, and escalating mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic faults accurately every time
* Minor repairs and adjustments within your qualification scope ahead of vehicle release
* Accessory fitting and vehicle preparation to handover standard
* Accurate job cards, inspection records, and compliance documentation on every vehicle
* Clean, organised bay — health and safety compliant throughout every shift
What We Need From You
* NVQ Level 3 in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair — essential
* PDI, prep, or fleet technician experience — preferred
* Process-driven and methodical — consistency matters as much as ability
* Able to manage your own throughput and maintain quality under volume
* Full UK Category B driving licence — essential
* Own tools — preferred
What You Get
* £14.50–£16.25 per hour dependent on experience
* Monday to Friday — no weekends, no bank holidays
* Consistent weekly hours
* Weekly pay every Friday
* Temp-to-perm — a permanent offer for the right PDI Technician based on performance, not politics
