Join a Specialist Workshop
It’s time to join a specialist workshop where experience, craftsmanship, and practical problem-solving are valued.
Suffolk Classic Services is a growing, independent specialist workshop near Woodbridge, Suffolk. We maintain, repair, restore, and improve vintage, classic, and selected modern prestige vehicles, with particular expertise in Jaguar models.
Our workload is varied: one day may involve an everyday classic and the next a rare Jaguar, Mini, MG, Triumph, Porsche, or Aston Martin. We are looking for an experienced mechanic/technician who takes pride in careful workmanship and wants to contribute to a friendly, knowledgeable team.
The Role
You will carry out servicing, maintenance, diagnosis, repairs, upgrades, and light restoration work across a wide range of classic and prestige vehicles. You will take ownership of each job, work methodically, and record progress accurately so that customers and colleagues receive clear, reliable information.
Key responsibilities include:
- Servicing and preventive maintenance
- Mechanical and electrical fault-finding
- Diagnosis and repair of vehicle systems and components
- Mechanical repairs, upgrades, and light restoration work
- Inspection, testing, and quality control
- Accurate job records and clear communication with the workshop team
- Helping to maintain a clean, organised, and professional workshop
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.
About You
We are looking for a dependable, self-motivated technician who combines strong practical ability with close attention to detail. You will be comfortable working independently, taking responsibility for your work, and approaching unfamiliar problems with patience and sound judgement.
Essential experience and skills:
- At least 10 years’ experience in motor vehicle mechanics or a closely related trade
- Proven ability to carry out mechanical and electrical fault-finding
- Broad experience of servicing, maintenance, and repair
- A genuine interest in vintage, classic, and prestige vehicles
- Clear written, verbal, and digital communication skills
- Accurate and consistent record-keeping
- Full UK driving licence
Knowledge of Jaguar vehicles, carburettor and ignition systems, vehicle electrics, fabrication, or restoration work would be advantageous, but a willingness to learn and apply your existing experience is equally important.
