About the Company
An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Vehicle Technician to join an independent Ford-approved repair centre based in Butley, Macclesfield.
The business is looking for a skilled and reliable technician to join its workshop team, carrying out servicing, maintenance, diagnostics and complex mechanical repairs across a range of vehicles.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technician who enjoys hands-on mechanical work and has experience undertaking more technical, labour-intensive repairs, particularly wet belt replacements.

Key Responsibilities
Carry out routine vehicle servicing, maintenance and general mechanical repairs.
Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults.
Undertake complex engine repairs and component replacements.
Carry out wet belt replacements, including the associated labour-intensive engine work.
Inspect vehicles and identify faults or potential mechanical issues.
Repair and replace timing belts, clutches, brakes, suspension, steering and other mechanical components.
Use diagnostic equipment to identify and resolve vehicle faults.
Ensure all repairs are completed to manufacturer specifications and industry standards.
Maintain accurate workshop documentation and job cards.
Work efficiently while maintaining excellent standards of workmanship and safety.
Skills & Experience Required
Previous experience working as a Vehicle Technician or Motor Mechanic.
Level 3 Motor Vehicle qualification preferred   , but not essential.
Strong mechanical and diagnostic knowledge.
Experience carrying out    wet belt replacements would be advantageous   , but is not essential.
Ability to undertake complex and labour-intensive mechanical repairs.
Good understanding of modern vehicle systems and engine components.
Full UK driving licence – essential.
Must have own tools.
Reliable, organised and able to work independently as well as part of a team.
A strong work ethic and pride in delivering quality workmanship.
Wet Belt

Experience:

The company would particularly welcome technicians who have experience replacing wet belts. Unlike conventional dry timing belts, wet belts operate inside the engine and are lubricated by engine oil. Replacing them is a more involved, labour-intensive repair requiring good mechanical knowledge and technical ability.
Working Hours
Monday – Thursday: 8:30am – 5:00pm
Friday: 8:30am – 4:00pm
Full-time, Monday to Friday.
Salary & Benefits
Salary of £30,000 – £48,000 per annum, depending on experience and technical ability.
Standard workplace pension scheme.
28 days' annual holiday plus bank holidays.
Company uniform provided.
Safety boots provided.
Own tools required, with the    company arranging insurance cover for your tools.
On-site parking available.
IMI training provided to support ongoing technical development and professional growth.

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be an experienced and motivated Vehicle Technician with strong mechanical skills and the confidence to carry out servicing, diagnostics and more complex engine repairs.
The business is particularly interested in technicians with wet belt replacement experience, although this is not essential for the right candidate. A Level 3 qualification would be preferred, but practical experience, technical ability and a positive attitude are equally important.
If you are a skilled Vehicle Technician looking for a new opportunity with an independent Ford-approved repair centre, offering a competitive salary, Monday-to-Friday working hours and ongoing IMI training, we would love to hear from you!
