Frustrated by independent garage work without the backing of manufacturer training, or simply looking to level up your credentials with a major brand?
It is time to step into a dealership that actually puts its technicians first.
We are hiring a Vehicle Technician / Car Mechanic to join our busy, growing franchise team in Chippenham. If you have your Level 2 or 3 qualification and are ready to swap quiet garage bays for a high-tech, fast-paced dealership environment, we will fully fund your manufacturer training and formal certification pathways, ensuring your skills stay sharp and future-proofed.
What's in It for You?
- The Pay: £30,000 – £40,000 per year (basic salary tailored entirely to your current experience and skillset).
- Weekday Hours: Stable, permanent weekday hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:00).
- Weekend Rotation: Keep your weekends mostly intact with a short, light Saturday morning shift (08:00 – 12:30) on a comfortable 1-in-2 rotation.
- Fully Funded training: Get fully certified on the absolute latest vehicle systems with comprehensive, paid manufacturer franchise training.
- The Setup: State-of-the-art diagnostic tooling, free on-site parking, a secure company pension scheme, and a highly supportive, friendly team environment.
Who We Are
Based in Chippenham, we are a premier franchise dealership group recognized for delivering elite technical standards and top-tier customer service. We reject the old-school, high-pressure dealership culture that burns staff out. Instead, our modern facility features the latest high-tech manufacturer infrastructure and diagnostic equipment, paired with a management team that actively supports your personal career progression.
Your Day-to-Day
Working in our high-spec Chippenham dealership, you will:
- Carry out routine vehicle servicing, safety inspections, diagnosis, and mechanical repairs to strict brand specifications.
- Use up-to-date diagnostic equipment and a systematic approach to troubleshoot technical, electrical, and mechanical faults.
- Accurately complete digital job cards, service reports, and written descriptions of faults found.
- Work productively alongside workshop colleagues, sharing best practices to maintain a smooth, efficient workshop flow.
What You Bring to the Table
- The Credentials: Minimum Level 2 or Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair qualification (NVQ / City & Guilds or equivalent).
- The Experience: A proven track record in a professional workshop environment (experience with Kia vehicles is beneficial but not essential—all brands welcome!).
- The Mindset: A confident, professional approach with excellent attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and your own tools.
- The Basics: A full UK driving licence is essential. Having an active MOT Tester licence is a bonus, but we can provide training if needed.
