Company Overview:
Re-Engineered Transmissions is a highly established and well-regarded gearbox specialist based in Rayleigh, Essex. With decades of experience and a reputation for excellence, we specialise in the supply, removal, and refitting of manual, semi-automatic, and automatic gearboxes for a wide range of vehicles.
We are now looking to expand our team with a skilled and confident Car Mechanic to support the continued growth of our busy Essex workshop.
Job Description:
This is a hands-on role focused primarily on the removal and refitting of gearboxes. No gearbox building or internal repair experience is required — this is first and foremost a fitting and removal job. However, any gearbox rebuild or repair experience will be considered a bonus.
The successful candidate will also be required to diagnose and fault-find general vehicle or engine issues when necessary, though the main emphasis is on gearbox handling.
Key Responsibilities:
* Remove and refit manual, semi-automatic, and automatic gearboxes
* Work independently in a professional, well-equipped workshop
* Fault-find and diagnose general vehicle or engine issues when required
* Ensure all work meets high safety and quality standards
* Communicate clearly with colleagues and workshop management
Candidate Requirements:
* Proven experience as a car mechanic (minimum 3 years preferred)
* Confident and competent working with various gearbox types
* Strong mechanical knowledge across a range of vehicle systems
* Ability to fault-find and problem-solve general vehicle issues
* Able to work efficiently, independently, and to deadlines
* Full UK driving licence
* Gearbox building experience is not essential, but a strong advantage
What We Offer:
* Competitive salary (based on experience and skill level)
* Full-time, permanent position with job stability
* Supportive and friendly working environment
* Big Opportunities for training and progression
* Join a trusted name in the gearbox industry
Location:
Our workshop is based in Rayleigh, Essex, within the Brook Road Industrial Estate. Easily accessible and fully equipped for gearbox and vehicle repair work.
