Automotive Technical Training Specialist
We are looking for an Automotive Technical Training Specialist. The role combines engineering expertise with teaching, strategy, project management, and leadership. Rather than spending every day repairing vehicles, the successful candidate will improve the capability of hundreds of technicians across an entire dealer network. You will join a fast-growing brand and will play a direct role in shaping how the UK's technical training function develops, making it both high-impact and highly visible. This is a wonderful opportunity!
TITLE: Automotive Technical Training Specialist
Salary: £55,000+ 15% bonus and cars
Location: Remote. This is a field-based role in which you will go to dealerships and also deliver in-person training at specialist Training Centres located in Nottingham and Bedford
Company: Fast-growth passenger vehicle brand
The Role
What makes this role really interesting is that this is not simply a role in which you will stand in front of technicians teaching diagnostics. It is a role designed for someone who is effectively responsible for building the technical capability of an entire UK dealer network as the brand grows. Every dealership needs technicians who can correctly diagnose faults, repair new electric and hybrid vehicles, understand the latest technology, represent the brand professionally, etc. In this role you will be supporting new dealerships that are opening across the UK and you will become the “guardian of technical standards” across the UK. This role will give you enormous visibility inside the business.
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.
Duties
For the right person, this role offers a great deal of variety and offers the chance to create a new learning culture and new materials rather than having to rely on maintaining existing programs.
