Enjoy getting stuck into proper diagnostic and mechanical work?

We're looking for an experienced Vehicle Technician to join a well-established independent specialist workshop in the Chelmsford area.

This isn't a role where you'll spend every day carrying out basic servicing and changing tyres.

There's plenty of diagnostic work, fault finding and more involved mechanical repairs, including engine strip-downs. So, if you're an experienced Technician who enjoys a challenge, likes getting to the bottom of tricky faults and takes pride in doing the job properly, this could be right up your street.

You'll be joining a workshop that works on a variety of vehicles, with a particular focus on German marques.

What you'll be doing

  • Carrying out vehicle servicing, maintenance and mechanical repairs
  • Diagnosing and resolving electrical and mechanical faults
  • Undertaking more complex repairs, including engine strip-downs and component replacement
  • Using diagnostic equipment to identify faults accurately
  • Working independently and as part of the workshop team
  • Maintaining high standards of workmanship and attention to detail

What we're looking for

  • At least 5 years' solid experience as a Vehicle Technician
  • Strong diagnostic and mechanical repair skills
  • Experience beyond routine servicing and fast-fit work
  • Confidence tackling more complicated mechanical jobs
  • A good understanding of modern vehicle systems
  • Your own tools
  • A full, clean UK driving licence
  • A reliable, practical approach and pride in your work

Previous experience in a main dealership or independent specialist workshop would be particularly suitable.

What's on offer?

  • Basic salary up to £45,000, depending on experience
  • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays from 2027
  • AXA healthcare from 2027
  • Company pension
  • Employee discount
  • On-site parking
  • Varied work, including challenging diagnostics and mechanical repairs

Interested?

If you're an experienced Vehicle Technician who enjoys proper hands-on mechanical work and wants to put your diagnostic skills to good use, we'd love to hear from you.
