Master Technician / Senior Vehicle Technician
Location: Orpington, Kent

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:30pm
The Opportunity:
Are you an experienced Master Technician or highly skilled Senior Vehicle Technician looking for your next move?
We are recruiting for an exciting opportunity with a well-established, privately owned independent automotive service centre in Orpington.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, experienced team where your skills and experience will genuinely be valued. The business has built a strong reputation locally and works across all vehicle makes.
The position has become available following the departure of a highly experienced technician who had been with the business for over 20 years, so this is a key appointment for the company.
About the Role:
As the senior technician within the business, you'll be responsible for carrying out a wide range of mechanical and diagnostic work to a high standard.
You'll be joining an established team of technicians who have been with the business for many years, giving you the opportunity to work in a professional but friendly environment without the pressures often associated with larger dealer groups.
The business has four workshop bays and an MOT ramp, with a varied workload covering all makes and models.
We're Looking For:
The ideal candidate will be:
- A qualified and highly experienced Vehicle Technician
- Ideally operating at Master Technician level, or a very experienced Senior Technician
- Confident carrying out complex diagnostic and mechanical work
- Experienced across a range of vehicle manufacturers
- Able to work independently and take pride in the quality of their work
- Professional, reliable and committed to delivering excellent customer service
- Keen to continue developing their technical knowledge
What’s On Offer?
- £55,000 – £60,000 salary, depending on experience
- Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:30pm
- No weekend working
- No overtime required
- 45-minute lunch break, 1:00pm – 1:45pm
- Stable, permanent position with an established independent business
- Friendly and experienced team
- Opportunity to work across all makes and models
- Further training and qualifications available for the right person
- A genuine emphasis on work-life balance and family time
Why Consider It?
This isn't your typical workshop environment where long hours and overtime are expected.
The business owner is passionate about having a team who work hard during their contracted hours and then go home and enjoy their time with their families.
If you're an experienced technician looking for a long-term role where your expertise is recognised, your evenings and weekends are your own, and you can become an important part of a successful independent business, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
