An exciting opportunity has become available for a skilled Vehicle Technician to join a well-established and highly respected Independent Vehicle Specialist based in Crawley Down, West Sussex.

What We’re Looking For:
  • A solid background in mechanical work (gearboxes, engine work, cambelts, timing chains, manifolds)
  • Diagnostic skills a bonus, but strong mechanical skills are key
  • Someone who can support and guide less experienced techs – mentoring experience is ideal
  • Experience with premium German vehicles is advantageous, but brand knowledge is flexible
  • Team player with a can-do attitude – everyone here pitches in
What’s On Offer:
  • Basic Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 DOE (with flexibility for the right Vehicle Technician)
  • Monthly Bonus Schemes (up to £500 extra per month depending on performance, customer feedback, parts, servicing targets, and team goals)
  • Monday to Friday only – 08:30 to 18:00 (with a 1-hour lunch & two 15-minute breaks)
  • No Saturdays – Ever
  • 22 days holiday + Bank Holidays, increasing by 1 day each year after 5 years up to 30 days total
  • Company Pension
  • Family Discounts & Personal Use of Workshop
  • Great team environment where your input matters
Our client is losing a long-term Senior Technician who’s moving abroad, so they're looking for someone to come in and be a key part of the team — someone others can learn from and rely on.

You’ll ideally live in or around the Crawley Down area or be able to commute reliably. You should be qualified to at least NVQ Level 3 in light vehicle maintenance and repair or equivalent, and have demonstrable experience working in a busy garage environment.

Whether you're already operating at senior level or have the experience and are ready to step up, this is a brilliant opportunity to work with a top team who care about quality and take pride in their craft.
