Wilsons Epsom
Wilsons Epsom is a well-established, large, multi-franchise, main dealer in the Surrey area, who is looking for a dedicated motor vehicle apprentice technician to work towards a Level 3 Motor Vehicle and Maintenance Technician Standard. You will be involved with general servicing and repairs.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
As an apprentice, you will be working alongside a team of experienced technicians, where you will learn to maintain and repair customers' vehicles to an extremely high standard.
You will be working on the latest modern vehicle products and technologies. This will include the latest vehicle operating electronic systems, including alternative fuelled vehicle systems such as EV (full electric vehicles), hybrid vehicles and, where applicable, hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Your duties will include:
- General servicing and repairs. This will require the candidate to work to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the vehicle is operating to its optimum required performance
- The candidate will be expected to, under guidance and mentoring, learn processes and procedures as required in respect of vehicle technical repairs. This will also include the manufacturer’s warranty processes and procedures
- The candidate will be guided through more complex diagnostic and repair procedures involving electronic vehicle operating systems. Examples of these are ABS systems, electric engine management operating systems, electronic operating gearbox systems, electronic operating steering systems, ADAS operating systems, and infotainment systems
Please note you will be required to drive these vehicles, therefore, a full UK driving licence is required
