Senior Vehicle Technician / Diagnostic Specialist – Up to £45k Base & NO Weekends!
Are you a Senior Technician looking for a workshop that values your technical mind as much as your spanner work? Step into a busy, long-established independent garage in Winchester where true fault-finding expertise is celebrated and weekends are strictly off!
About Us
We are a trusted technical authority in the region, offering a busy, independent alternative to corporate main-dealer pressure. While our workload is diagnostic-heavy, we blend complex electrical fault-finding with core mechanical repairs and servicing. We give our senior technicians total autonomy in their bays, top-tier diagnostic platforms, and access to on-site training facilities to solve complex problems properly—without corporate micromanagement or bonus-chasing stress.
What is in it for you:
- Top Basic Pay: Up to £45,000 basic salary (reliable, fixed base pay tailored to experience)
- Reclaim Your Weekends: Strictly Monday to Friday ONLY—keep every single weekend for yourself
- Technical Autonomy: Full trust and freedom to diagnose, repair, and resolve complex issues your way
- Advanced Training: On-site training facilities and fully funded pathways for EV/Hybrid systems
- Modern Equipment: Work in a clean, professional workshop equipped with up-to-date diagnostic kit and oscilloscopes
- Great Culture: A supportive, expert-led team that values craftsmanship over rushed volume
