You will communicate findings clearly and help ensure that customers receive an accurate explanation of their MOT results.

The role sits within a wider vehicle servicing and repair workshop, giving you the opportunity to work alongside technicians who handle MOT-related repairs, mechanical faults and vehicle diagnostics.

Applicants should state their current DVSA MOT Tester authorisation, the vehicle classes they are authorised to test and their relevant experience when applying. Experience with commercial vehicles, motorcycles, hybrid vehicles or electric vehicles should also be highlighted where applicable.

Vehicle Technician Jobs in Shipley – Open Position

We are also welcoming applications from vehicle technicians and mechanics interested in joining Drive-In Service Centre.

This open technician opportunity is intended for automotive professionals with practical experience in vehicle maintenance, servicing, diagnostics or mechanical repairs. We work on a broad range of vehicles, so the position offers exposure to different manufacturers, technologies and repair requirements.

Depending on your experience and skills, work may include full, major, minor and interim servicing; brake repairs; suspension and steering faults; exhaust repairs; engine management diagnostics; emissions systems; cambelt and timing chain replacement; transmission problems; and electrical fault-finding.

Our workshop also supports hybrid and electric vehicles, commercial vans and campervans. Experience in these areas can be particularly relevant to our workload, although applicants should explain their own technical strengths and qualifications rather than assume every specialism is required.
