Purpose of the Role
As a Technician at our workshop, you will be at the heart of our mission to lead the electric vehicle aftermarket repair industry. You will not just be replacing parts. You will dismantle, diagnose, and repair high-voltage battery systems and power electronics at a component level.
Working alongside our team to develop industry-leading solutions, you will help develop new ways to extend the life of electric vehicles. This is a role for someone who wants to move away from the traditional workshop environment and into a clean, forward-thinking technical facility.
Key Responsibilities

- Perform intricate repairs on EV battery packs and high-voltage systems using specialist tools.
- Collaborate to innovate, test, and refine new repair methods.
- Conduct deep-level diagnostics to find faults within cells and power electronics.
- Provide feedback to help create internal repair manuals and technical guides.
Quality and Safety
- Maintain the highest standards of safety within our high-voltage environment.
- Ensure every repair meets our strict quality benchmarks for vehicle safety and performance.
- Accurately document all work to ensure a clear history for our customers.
