Vehicle Technician - Poole 30,000 - 42,000 OTE Monday-Friday No Weekends

If you're a skilled Vehicle Technician / Diagnostic Technician / Service Technician / Automotive Technician who takes pride in diagnosing faults properly (not guessing), this could be the move that actually progresses your career-not just another job.

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established, multi-site automotive group with a strong reputation across the UK and Europe. You'll be based in a modern Passenger Car dealership in Poole, working with one of the most recognised brands in the industry.

Most technician roles promise "training" and "progression." This one actually delivers it.

You'll get:

  • Structured manufacturer-led training (not just shadowing someone on a busy day)
  • A clean, professional workshop with proper diagnostic tools
  • A supportive team environment where you're not left to struggle with difficult jobs
  • Clear opportunities to progress your skills and earnings

What you'll be doing

  • Carrying out servicing, maintenance, and repairs to manufacturer standards
  • Diagnosing faults using approved diagnostic systems (no guesswork)
  • Communicating effectively with the workshop controller on additional work
  • Completing job cards and documentation accurately
  • Following warranty, quality, and health & safety procedures
  • Ensuring every vehicle leaves the workshop safe and roadworthy

What you'll need

  • NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair
  • Solid experience as a Vehicle Technician
  • Strong diagnostic and fault-finding skills
  • A professional, team-focused attitude
  • Full UK driving licence

What's in it for you

  • 30,000 - 36,000 basic + 6,000 bonus (OTE up to 42,000)
  • Monday to Friday only - 8:00am to 5:00pm
  • 32 days holiday (rising with service)
  • Company pension & life assurance
  • Ongoing manufacturer training and development
  • Health & wellbeing support (including physio)
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Staff discounts on parts and labour
  • Additional lifestyle perks and schemes

Why you should apply

If you're currently:

Stuck in a workshop with no real training or progression, or expected to hit targets without the tools or support to do the job properly, this is a genuine opportunity to step into a more structured, professional environment where your skills are valued and developed.
