WE'RE HIRING – MECHANIC / MOT TESTER
Retford Auto Centre – Grove Lane, Retford, DN22 6LS
Due to continued growth, increasing customer demand, and the ongoing support of our loyal customers, we're looking for an additional Mechanic / MOT Tester to join our team.
Although Retford Auto Centre has been operating since 2019, we moved into our brand-new purpose-built workshop in 2024, expanding our services and creating an excellent working environment with modern equipment and facilities.
We're looking for someone who cares about customers and their vehicles as much as we do. Excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and a willingness to go the extra mile are just as important as technical ability.
The Role
- Full-time position (part-time applications will also be considered)
- Competitive pay based on experience, to be discussed during the application process
- No weekends – ever
- No bank holidays – ever
- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- Friendly, supportive team environment
Who We're Looking For
We welcome applications from both experienced technicians and newly qualified mechanics who are keen to develop their skills and build a long-term career within a busy, professional workshop.
An MOT Tester qualification would be an advantage but is not essential. Candidates who are not currently MOT qualified will still be fully considered, and we would hope to support the right person in gaining their MOT Tester qualification through training and development with us.
Experience or training in auto electrics and Electric/Hybrid vehicles would also be beneficial, although not essential.
Above all, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, is reliable, hardworking, customer-focused, and committed to delivering high standards of workmanship.
Key Responsibilities
- Diagnose faults in engines, transmissions, and vehicle systems using diagnostic equipment and technical information
- Carry out servicing, repairs, and maintenance to a high standard
- Perform brake, suspension, engine, and electrical repairs
- Conduct routine inspections and preventative maintenance
- Install and replace vehicle components as required
- Maintain accurate records of work completed
- Ensure all work complies with safety and industry standards
- Deliver excellent customer service and explain repairs clearly when required
Requirements
- Full, clean UK driving licence
- References
- CV required
All successful applicants will be required to complete a trial period within the workshop as part of the recruitment process.
