Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00am–5:15pm. No weekend working.
Enjoy diagnosing faults and understanding how automotive components work? Ready to put your workshop experience to use in a different technical role?
At BGA, we’re looking for a vehicle technician to join our Technical team. This is an opportunity to take your practical automotive knowledge into component inspection, product testing and failure investigation.
You don’t need to have worked in quality control before. We’re interested in your technical understanding, approach to problem-solving and willingness to learn. We’ll support you in developing the product inspection and reporting skills needed for the role.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Inspecting new products, production samples and stock to assess quality and suitability.
- Investigating returned components to help establish why they have failed.
- Using measuring equipment to check components against specifications.
- Recording findings and preparing clear inspection reports.
- Supporting colleagues and customers with automotive technical queries.
- Working with our suppliers on inspection findings and product improvements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- Practical experience as a vehicle technician, with a good understanding of automotive components and how they work.
- An enquiring mind—you like to understand why something has failed.
- A careful, methodical approach and good attention to detail.
- Confidence explaining technical findings to others.
- Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel.
- A motor vehicle or relevant engineering qualification.
Experience using precision measuring equipment, reading technical drawings or carrying out component inspections would be useful, but previous employment in a quality control role is not essential.

Why join BGA?
You’ll apply your vehicle knowledge beyond everyday servicing and repairs, working with a wide range of automotive components and helping assess the quality of products supplied around the world.
Based in Swindon, BGA is the automotive aftermarket division of the British Gaskets Group. You’ll join an established Technical team, with support to develop your skills and regular Monday–Friday working hours.
