Commercial Vehicle Service Technician

at  D M Keith

We are currently looking for an experienced Commercial Technician to come and join our site at Ford Leeds.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you!
Basic salaries of up to £15 per hour, depending on your skill and experience levels are the best around and with achievable bonus earning potential of up to £5,175 per annum.
About you
Your duties will depend upon your experience and training but as a skilled Technician, you will be able to undertake both minor and major mechanical faults (including engine repairs) and return vehicles back to manufacturer specification and standards.
We are welcoming applications from Technicians / Service Technicians who are NVQ level 3 trained. Experience working within a busy volume franchised dealer environment is an advantage but not crucial if you currently work at an independent garage/dealer. If you have knowledge of the Ford brand that would be fantastic but not essential. We value knowledge, so we’re looking for a confident, experienced Commercial Technician.
What will you need to succeed in the role:
Drive, passion and enthusiasm to succeed- we’re looking for someone looking to carve out a lifelong career!
Demonstrate capability and confidence in using equipment within the workshop safely
At least NVQ level 3 trained with work experience in a franchised dealer or independent garage. Experienced MOT tester with EV training

What we offer:

• Internal training.
• 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays.
• Discount for servicing and repairs on your family and friend’s cars. A workplace pension scheme.
• If you have worked in retail previously, you will be glad to know we close Easter Sunday, Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
• £25 contribution to glasses.
• Cycle to work scheme.
