Vehicle Mechanic ​/ Tech

VANRATH are working with a well established specialist automotive business in the Ballymena area on the recruitment of a Vehicle Mechanic / Technician for their growing workshop team.

The company builds, services and modifies bespoke commercial and utility vehicles and has built a strong reputation for doing it well.

The successful Vehicle Technician will be responsible for:

• Carrying out clutch work and general mechanical repairs
• Fitting towing equipment, accessories and specialist vehicle components

• Working under your own initiative with a close eye on detail

• Confidence handling servicing and general repair work without supervision
  
  Sound problem solving ability and the initiative to use it
• Diagnostics and fault finding experience, which would be an advantage
• A reliable work ethic and a positive approach

You do not need to be at full Master Technician level for this one. It will suit a technician who is past newly qualified and comfortable taking on core workshop duties on their own, though happy to speak with those more experienced.

• £30,000 to £40,000 depending on experience
