Kerr's is growing. We need people who want to grow with it.
Tyre Fitter, £31,500 | Coleraine | 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 takes pride in the work
We're proud of a genuinely diverse team across our centres, and we want that to keep growing. If you know your way around a wheel and you take pride in a job done right, we want to hear from you.
What you'll do
- Check, remove, replace and repair worn, damaged or defective tyres
- Repair punctures, set correct pressures, and carry out balancing, alignment and tracking
- Carry out basic servicing, filters, lubrication and road safety checks
- Look after customers properly, honest advice on tyres and keeping them legal
- Load and unload safely and keep your work area right
What you'll bring
- At least 1 year's experience fitting, balancing and repairing tyres
- Good knowledge of tyre brands and specifications
- Punctuality, dependability and a positive, professional attitude
- Desirable: wheel alignment experience, basic mechanical knowledge of wheels, tyres and suspension, and a valid driving licence
What you'll earn
£31,500 per year.
Plus a bonus, paid monthly in arrears, against clear monthly targets: hit 100% of target and you earn £200 that month, hit 120% and that rises to £400. Keep hitting 120% consistently and that's £4,800 in bonus across the year, a realistic £36,300 in total for fitters performing at the top of the range. We'll show you exactly how it's calculated, and back you with regular coaching so hitting it is realistic, not theoretical.
Plus £10 for every wheel alignment you carry out, when your centre's alignment KPI is met.
Where it can take you
From Fitter, to Senior Fitter, to Centre Manager. People in this business have made exactly that journey, and with new centres opening, more of those roles are coming.
