Back Shift PDI / Sales Preparation Vehicle Technician
Full-Time | Permanent Job| Monday-Friday (No Weekends)

Looking for a role where you can get stuck into cars, build your skills, and work with a solid team - without the pressure of customers or bonus targets?

We've got exciting opportunities with a fast-growing, forward-thinking automotive group that's expanding its team. They're on the hunt for Back Shift PDI / Sales Prep Technicians to help keep their sales department moving by getting vehicles ready for resale.

Whether you're a Level 2 technician looking to step up, or a Level 3 technician wanting a clean, well-equipped workshop where you can just get on with the job, you'll fit right in here.

The essentials:

  • £36-41k per year DOE and Qualifications.

  • Monday to Friday and only 40 hours a Week.

  • £2,000 extra per year if you've got an MOT licence (and they'll help keep it up to date)

Why people like working here:
  • Proper team environment - no bonus structure, no competition, just everyone pulling together

  • Plenty of experienced Techs and Master Techs around to learn from

  • Clean, modern workshop that's actually a nice place to spend your shift

  • Training and development - including funded courses if you show commitment

  • Hybrid and EV training are available as you progress

  • No customers - just you, the cars, and your team

  • Uniform provided, heated workshop, on-site parking

What you'll be doing:
  • Prepping used cars so they're ready for sale

  • General servicing and light mechanical work (brakes, pads, suspension, swaps - no heavy engine rebuilds)

  • Carrying out PDIs (Pre-Delivery Inspections)

  • Diagnosing issues and fixing them properly

  • Giving each vehicle a final quality check before it moves on

What they're after:
  • Level 2 or Level 3 Vehicle Technician

  • Someone who takes pride in doing a job properly

  • A team player who's happy to get stuck in

  • Someone who wants to learn, improve, and build a long-term career

This is one of those roles where you can just focus on doing good work, surrounded by a team that's got your back - all within a company that's growing and creating real opportunities.
