ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is an established independent automotive repair and servicing business based in the Sevenoaks area of Kent.

The workshop provides servicing, diagnostics, maintenance and mechanical repairs for a wide range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

With a focus on professional, reliable service and quality workmanship, our client is seeking an experienced, multi-skilled Vehicle Technician to join their workshop team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The successful candidate must be confident undertaking general servicing, diagnostics and complex mechanical repairs, particularly cambelt replacements, wet belt replacements and clutch repairs.

Experience working on hybrid and electric vehicles would be advantageous, although the primary requirement is strong, hands-on mechanical expertise.
