You

We are seeking candidates with previous experience of tyre fitting or fuel retrieval either in a mobile or workshop based role.

Our service vans are equipped to repair and replace tyres at roadside together with equipment to drain fuel tanks where customers have added the incorrect fuel. Full training of fuel retrieval will be given. 

We seek candidates that always seek to provide great customer service in a sometimes challenging environment, people that go 'above and beyond' to offer our customers a solution that really fits their needs. 

Technical skills are important too and we seek candidates with a minimum of three years experience in a vehicle based industry. We don't like to exclude anyone so if you're good at fixing cars but just don't have the paperwork we still want to hear from you. We offer full training and all of our technicians will reach the Automotive Technical Accreditation standard. 

You will need to have held a full driving licence for a minimum of three years and for those who need it we will provide training to upgrade your licence to tow trailers. 

All candidates are subject to CRB checks. 

The role

This is a home based role giving the added advantage of not having to drive to and from work every day. You will work from a dedicated service van fully equipped with specialist tools and parts to repair vehicles. 

In addition to tyre and fuel work, at the roadside you will be expected to diagnose faults and carry out basic repairs that are feasible such as batteries, wheel changes, drive belts, alternators and ignition parts. For faults that need workshop attention cars are recovered into our local service centres. 

We attend breakdowns in all weathers so you need to be prepared to work outside and sometimes in difficult conditions to rescue our customers. 

Tyre and Fuel Technicians work a rota pattern equating to five days a week including alternate weekends and are 'on call' alternate weeks to attend out of hours breakdowns on an overtime basis.
