Master Technician / Senior Vehicle Technician

Location: Orpington, Kent
Salary: £55,000 – £60,000 DOE
Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:30pm

The Opportunity:

Are you an experienced Master Technician or highly skilled Senior Vehicle Technician looking for your next move?

We are recruiting for an exciting opportunity with a well-established, privately owned independent automotive service centre in Orpington.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, experienced team where your skills and experience will genuinely be valued. The business has built a strong reputation locally and works across all vehicle makes.

The position has become available following the departure of a highly experienced technician who had been with the business for over 20 years, so this is a key appointment for the company.

About the Role:

As the senior technician within the business, you'll be responsible for carrying out a wide range of mechanical and diagnostic work to a high standard.

You'll be joining an established team of technicians who have been with the business for many years, giving you the opportunity to work in a professional but friendly environment without the pressures often associated with larger dealer groups.

The business has four workshop bays and an MOT ramp, with a varied workload covering all makes and models.

We're Looking For:

The ideal candidate will be:

• A qualified and highly experienced Vehicle Technician
• Ideally operating at Master Technician level, or a very experienced Senior Technician
• Confident carrying out complex diagnostic and mechanical work
• Experienced across a range of vehicle manufacturers
• Able to work independently and take pride in the quality of their work
• Professional, reliable and committed to delivering excellent customer service
• Keen to continue developing their technical knowledge

What’s On Offer?

• £55,000 – £60,000 salary, depending on experience
• Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:30pm
• No weekend working
• No overtime required
• 45-minute lunch break, 1:00pm – 1:45pm
• Stable, permanent position with an established independent business
• Friendly and experienced team
• Opportunity to work across all makes and models
• Further training and qualifications available for the right person
• A genuine emphasis on work-life balance and family time

Why Consider It?

This isn't your typical workshop environment where long hours and overtime are expected.

The business owner is passionate about having a team who work hard during their contracted hours and then go home and enjoy their time with their families.

If you're an experienced technician looking for a long-term role where your expertise is recognised, your evenings and weekends are your own, and you can become an important part of a successful independent business, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
