Job Opportunity at 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.

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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Drive these vehicles, therefore, a full UK driving licence is required

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
