🔧 Senior Vehicle Technician – £50k Basic DOE
Haywards Heath Area | Monday–Friday | No Saturdays | Independent Garage
Sick of being treated like a diagnostic tool with legs?
Our client is looking for an experienced Senior Vehicle Technician to join their established independent garage — and this could be the job where your career finally gets a decent service history.
This is a genuinely friendly workshop where the team has been together for 10–15 years each. So there’s no revolving door, no daily game of “Who’s left this week?”, and thankfully, no need to spend your lunch break hiding from management.
🛠️ The Job
You'll be working Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm (45-minute unpaid break), with no Saturdays — although overtime is available if you actually enjoy spending extra time with cars.
You'll have your own ramp, your own workload and plenty of variety, with all makes and models coming through the door.
We're looking for someone who can:
* Diagnose faults without immediately blaming the previous technician
* Carry out servicing, repairs, maintenance and diagnostics to a high standard
* Work independently and take pride in their workmanship
* Handle a variety of makes and models — because apparently they can't all just be Toyotas
* Keep customers' cars on the road and their colleagues' blood pressure down
💷 What's in it for you?
* Up to £50,000 salary for the right Senior Technician
* Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm
* No Saturdays — your weekends belong to you
* Overtime available if you want it
* 20 days' holiday + Bank Holidays
* Your own ramp — no fighting over workshop real estate
* Friendly, experienced team with 10–15 years' service
* All makes and models through the workshop
* Opportunity to carry out your own work after hours, with parts available at cost
🔩 Who are we looking for?
Someone who knows their way around a workshop, can diagnose a problem without needing to Google “what does this warning light mean?”, and takes genuine pride in doing a good job.
You’ll need solid mechanical and diagnostic experience, a professional attitude and the ability to get on with people. In return, you'll get a stable role in a well-established independent garage where the team actually sticks around.
If you're ready for a role with good money, good hours, a decent team and considerably less weekend wrenching, get in touch.
No Saturday work. No workshop drama. No mystery coolant leaks — well, we can't promise that last one.
