About The Business

Forget the soul-destroying corporate grind and rigid main dealer targets. We are a long-standing, independent, family-run dealership holding an exceptional reputation, backed by over 1,000 5-star reviews. We treat our staff like family, not numbers on a spreadsheet.

Our commitment to excellence has earned us massive recognition, including recently winning a prestigious national Dealer of the Year award. To match our ongoing success, we are looking for a skilled, self-sufficient MOT Prep Tech to join our stable, long-standing workshop team.

  • Future-Proof Career: Build highly valuable skills working across a massive variety of vehicles, including standard cars, commercial vehicles, and cutting-edge Electric Vehicles (EV).
  • Elite Training Academy: Accelerate your development with direct, fully funded pathways through a manufacturer-backed technical academy.
  • Family-Run Culture: Work in a supportive, independent environment that genuinely puts its people first.
  • Immaculate Workshop
  • True Job Security
  • Benefits Package: Competitive holiday allowance, secure company pension, free premium workwear, and free secure on-site parking.

What You'll Be Doing

  • MOT Preparation & Testing: Taking full ownership of prepping customer cars and new stock, identifying faults, and successfully putting vehicles through their MOT tests.
  • Independent Fault Finding: Working as a self-sufficient technician to diagnose and fix mechanical issues efficiently.
  • Quality Workmanship: Ensuring a right-first-time fix, maintaining the absolute highest standard of safety and quality control.
  • Diverse Mechanics: Transitioning smoothly between standard combustion engines, commercial platforms, and next-generation EVs.

Requirements

  • Must hold a valid, active MOT Tester Licence.
  • Must be completely self-sufficient and confident prepping and testing vehicles independently.
  • NVQ Level 3 in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent portfolio of hands-on experience).
  • Ideally situated within a 30-minute radius of the Burton-on-Trent area.
  • A full UK driving licence.

Our award-winning facility is centrally situated with excellent regional road links, offering a smooth, traffic-busting daily commute from:

  • Swadlincote: 12 mins
