About the Role
We're looking for a skilled and reliable Vehicle Technician to join a busy, well-established automotive team in Ellesmere Port. This is a hands-on role that will suit someone who enjoys working on a wide range of vehicles, delivering high standards of workmanship, and providing customers with peace of mind.
If you're looking for a role where your skills will be fully utilised - and where no two days are the same - this is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive and professional workshop.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out scheduled servicing, routine inspections, and preventative maintenance on a wide range of vehicles.
- Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and electronic faults using diagnostic equipment and manual methods.
- Perform repairs and component replacements, from minor fixes to more complex mechanical and electrical work.
- Conduct MOT testing (if certified) or support the MOT process to ensure vehicles meet DVSA standards.
- Road test vehicles after repair to ensure issues are resolved and work has been completed to specification.
- Ensure all work is completed in line with health & safety standards, manufacturer guidelines, and company procedures.
- Accurately complete job cards, service sheets, and parts usage records to maintain clear audit trails.
- Liaise with service advisors, parts teams, and customers to provide updates on repair progress, costs, and recommendations.
- Advise customers on additional safety or preventative maintenance work that may be required.
- Keep the workshop, tools, and equipment clean, safe, and well maintained.
- Assist in training or mentoring junior technicians when required.
- Stay up to date with new vehicle technologies, diagnostic equipment, and industry best practice.
What We're Looking For:
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair.
- Solid workshop experience as a Vehicle Technician.
- MOT Testing certification (preferred, but not essential).
- Strong diagnostic and fault-finding skills.
- A safety-first mindset and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills with a commitment to customer care.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced workshop.
What's on Offer:
- Salary between 28,000 - 34,000 depending on experience.
- Opportunities for professional training and development.
- A supportive, friendly team environment where your skills are valued.
- Stable, long-term employment with a respected local business.
