Tired of just servicing?
Want a role where your diagnostic skills actually matter?

Alecto Recruitment are recruiting experienced diagnostic-focused technicians for a busy, well-established independent workshop in Walsall. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys fault finding, diagnostics, and problem-solving - not just routine servicing all day.

Working hours:

  • Monday-Friday: 8:30am-5:30pm
  • 1 in 2 Saturdays: 8:30am-12:30pm

  • Opportunity to develop into a diagnostics specialist or senior technician role

What you'll actually be doing:

  • Advanced vehicle diagnostics and fault finding
  • Electrical and mechanical diagnostics on cars and light commercial vehicles
  • Investigating warning lights, intermittent faults and complex issues
  • Supporting general servicing and repairs when required
  • Completing VHCs, job cards and workshop documentation accurately
  • Working in a professional, organised workshop environment
  • This role is diagnostics-led, not fast-fit.

This role is for you if:

  • You have 5+ years' experience as a Vehicle Technician
  • You're a logical, methodical problem solver
  • Diagnostics and electrics are your strong point (or where you want to specialise)
  • You take pride in doing the job properly, not rushing it
