Due to major growth, we are currently looking for an experienced Commercial Technician to come and join our site at Ford Leeds.
We offer a market-leading salary and bonus scheme, with full details to be discussed during interview.
About the Business
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you!
About you
Your duties will depend upon your experience and training but as a skilled Technician, you will be able to undertake both minor and major mechanical faults (including engine repairs) and return vehicles back to manufacturer specification and standards.
We are welcoming applications from Technicians / Service Technicians who are NVQ level 3 trained. Experience working within a busy volume franchised dealer environment is an advantage but not crucial if you currently work at an independent garage/dealer. If you have knowledge of the Ford brand that would be fantastic but not essential. We value knowledge, so we're looking for a confident, experienced Commercial Technician.
What will you need to succeed in the role:
Drive, passion and enthusiasm to succeed- we’re looking for someone looking to carve out a lifelong career!
Demonstrate capability and confidence in using equipment within the workshop safely.
At least NVQ level 3 trained with work experience in a franchised dealer or independent garage. Experienced MOT tester with EV training.
What we offer:
A competitive salary and bonus package.
We offer a retention scheme worth up to £10,000 which increases with length of service
Long service rewards
A range of training and leadership development programs
Manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need to be working for part of a franchise
30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, increasing with length of service
Preferential service rates and repairs including family and friends vehicles.
A workplace pension scheme
Cycle to work scheme
If you have worked in retail previously, you will be glad to know we close Easter Sunday, Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
You will require a Full UK drivers’ license and have your own tools.
Hours
Your working hours will equate to 40 hours a week (flexible on start and finish times to cover the 40hrs) and every other Saturday 8:00am-1:00pm.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and do not discriminate on the basis of race,ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability or other characteristics.
