• Good attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
• A reliable, positive and professional attitude.
• The ability to work well independently and alongside colleagues.

An NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent automotive qualification would be an advantage, as would experience with modern diagnostic equipment and electrical fault-finding.

Above all, we’re looking for a technician who takes ownership of their work and understands the importance of getting the job right.

• £30,000–£40,000 per year
