Mechanic Resident

A&I Autos has kept the north east of Scotland moving since 1985. Alongside our passenger transport fleet, we run a busy workshop and MOT testing station in Stonehaven, looking after our own buses and coaches as well as customer vehicles. We are flexible, ambitious and genuinely proud of the work we do, and we want everyone in our team to have a great place to work and to grow.

We are looking for a skilled mechanic to join our workshop. You will maintain and repair a varied fleet, our own vehicles and customers' vehicles, so no two days look quite the same. If you are an MOT tester, or would like to become one, we will put your skills to use in our testing station and fund your progression to testing level.

We know good mechanics are hard to come by, so we make it worth your while. We are very flexible and will adapt your hours and holidays around your life, not the other way around.
