Roles and Responsibilities:

Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you will be the contact point for team members to achieve and deliver projects efficiently and meet your team goals.

Essential Skills:

  • Hands on vehicle workshop experience is key – the role involves diagnosing initial symptoms related to Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) to provide guided solutions.

  • Experience using automotive diagnostic software.
  • Analytical skills and experience of troubleshooting to diagnose faults in a logical and concise manner.
