The Opportunity
Looking to work in a pristine, modern environment with top-tier diagnostic equipment? Due to a major workshop expansion, we are looking for an experienced Vehicle Mechanic / MOT Tester to join our enthusiastic, forward-thinking team.
We have invested heavily in our future, installing three brand-new 2-post vehicle lifts, a state-of-the-art MOT testing bay (covering Class 4 and Class 7 commercial vehicles), and industry-leading Hunter alignment systems.
Whether you are already a fully qualified MOT tester or an experienced mechanic looking for a company to fully fund and support your MOT license training, we want to hear from you. We offer a transparent, highly competitive salary structure up to £45,000, excellent bonus potential, and an adult workshop culture.
The Role
This is a hands-on, varied role where you will manage full-service vehicle diagnostics, mechanical repairs, and MOT compliance testing.
Key Responsibilities:
- Mechanical Excellence: Execute a wide range of mechanical tasks including routine servicing, cambelt replacements, suspension overhauls, brake system repairs, and complex fault diagnostics.
