Master​/Diagnostic Vehicle Technician; Diagnostics​/EV​/ADAS

We’re looking for a high‑level Master Technician or ambitious diagnostic technician to join our busy, forward‑thinking independent garage in Castle Douglas. This role is for someone who can diagnose, not guess — comfortable taking on complex faults, modern vehicle systems, and helping drive the technical standard of the workshop forward.

• Advanced diagnostics across a wide range of vehicles
• Fault finding on complex electrical, network, and intermittent issues
• Working on EV and hybrid systems safely and competently
• Carrying out and supporting ADAS diagnostics and calibration
• Supporting other technicians with technical challenges when required
• General mechanical work when you’re not looking at squiggly lines
• Mentor apprentices and junior technicians
• Maintaining high standards with minimal comebacks

• Proven experience as a Master / Diagnostic Technician
• Minimum Level 3 EV qualification
• Strong diagnostic ability — able to trace faults, not just replace parts
• Good understanding of modern vehicle systems, including SCR and emissions control systems
• Solid knowledge of vehicle networks (LIN, CAN, etc.) and control modules
• Confident use of oscilloscopes and signal analysis for fault finding
• Experience using manufacturer diagnostic tooling and technical information systems
• ADAS experience beneficial (calibration, radar systems, etc.)
• MOT Tester an advantage (not essential)
• Willingness to travel for training when required
• A mindset focused on continuous improvement — this role is constantly evolving
• Professional attitude and pride in getting it right first time

• £45,000 – £55,000+ depending on experience
• No Saturdays — ever
• Birthday off every year (not from your holiday allowance)
• Extra holidays the longer you’re with us
• Modern, well‑equipped workshop with up‑to‑date diagnostic tools
• Ongoing investment in training (EV, diagnostics, ADAS)
• A proper working environment — no rushing, no cutting corners

You’ll be joining a workshop that is actively investing in the future — EV, diagnostics, and advanced vehicle systems. This isn’t a place where you’ll be held back. You’ll have the tools, support, and environment to operate at a true master technician level.
