Mechanic (Vehicle Technician), £32,000 to £38,000 basic | Clogher (Fannin's Garage)| Full time, Permanent
Kerr's Tyres started as one man's idea, to run tyre and auto centres properly, treat customers and colleagues right, and the rest follows. Norman Kerr had that idea over twenty years ago, and he's still leading the business today. What's new is the backing, fresh investment to take that same model and scale it across Ireland and the UK.
THE OPPORTUNITY, IN NUMBERS
- Founder led since day one. Norman Kerr still runs the business he built
- Backed by new investment to fund UK and Ireland wide growth
- Farmer Autocare's 21 Scottish centres joined the group in 2026
- Building towards 50+ centres in Ireland and 250 across the UK and Ireland
- Hiring around 20 roles across the Ireland part of the group right now, because we're growing
Open to everyone who's serious about the trade
We're proud of a genuinely diverse team across our centres, and we want that to keep growing. If you've got the qualifications and the work ethic, we want to hear from you.
What you'll do
- Diagnose and repair faults, fit new and manufactured parts, and carry out full inspections before handover to the customer
- Keep accurate records of all work completed
- Deliver excellent customer service, explaining work clearly and honestly, and spot genuine opportunities to help customers with work their vehicle actually needs
- Work with your Centre Manager and team to hit daily targets
What you'll bring
- Level 3 qualified or above
- Solid diagnostics and fault-finding experience
- Your own mechanics tool kit
- A full current driving licence
- Desirable: 2 or more years' mechanical experience, tyre fitting, balancing and repair, and wheel alignment experience
What you'll earn
Basic salary of £32,000 to £38,000 depending on your qualification level.
Plus a bonus, paid monthly in arrears: hit 100% of target and you earn £1,000 that month, hit 120% and that rises to £1,500, the same scheme at every level, against clear targets. We'll show you exactly how it's calculated, and back you with regular coaching so hitting it is realistic, not theoretical.
Where it can take you
From Mechanic, to Senior Technician, to Centre Manager. More sites means more roles opening up sooner, whether you want to move into leadership or stay on the tools and go further with them.
