We are looking for a friendly, confident and capable Workshop Technician to join our busy, AWS Approved workshop. If you enjoy problem solving, take pride in your workmanship and are looking for a rewarding career within the leisure vehicle industry, we'd love to hear from you.
Previous workshop experience is essential. Experience working on motorhomes and caravans is highly desirable, although candidates from other mechanical, automotive or engineering backgrounds will also be considered, as full product training will be provided for the right individual.
Working as part of an experienced team, you'll be based in our 4-bay AWS Approved workshop, where you'll be supported by an experienced Workshop Manager who will oversee daily workloads whilst providing ongoing coaching and training as you develop your skills.

- Maintaining high standards of workmanship and customer satisfaction.
- Helping to create a positive, safe and productive working environment.
What We're Looking For
The successful candidate will:
- Have previous experience working within a workshop environment.
- Experience within the motorhome or caravan industry would be advantageous, but is not essential for the right candidate.
- Have excellent practical and problem-solving skills.
- Be fluent in English with good written and verbal communication skills.
- Be friendly, approachable and able to communicate effectively with both customers and colleagues.
