Job Description

Mobile Vehicle Technician – Horsham

About the Role

Join a growing mobile repair division delivering planned servicing, maintenance, and repairs directly to customers at their homes or workplaces.

  • £40,178 basic salary with OTE up to £58,000
  • Guaranteed overtime options plus additional bonus opportunities
  • 40 hours per week
  • Core hours: 8:30am – 5:00pm
  • 1 in 4 Saturdays

This is a structured mobile role with no emergency callouts or roadside recoveries — just pre-booked jobs and consistent workflow.


The Role

You’ll carry out:

  • Routine servicing and maintenance
  • Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
  • In-depth repairs typically completed in a workshop environment
  • Vehicle safety inspections
  • Customer advice and repair recommendations

You’ll be provided with a fully equipped van, fuel card, tools, diagnostics equipment, and uniform from day one.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Planned appointments instead of reactive breakdowns
  • Consistent workflow and organised schedules
  • Time and support to complete jobs properly
  • Independence within a structured environment
  • Variety of servicing, repairs, and diagnostics work

Requirements

  • Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
  • Minimum 2 years’ experience as a Vehicle Technician
  • Full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with strong overtime potential
  • Optional guaranteed overtime (£30 per hour)
  • 23 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
  • Pension scheme with matched contributions
  • Life assurance
  • Vehicle salary sacrifice scheme including EV options
  • Retail, travel, and lifestyle discounts
  • 24/7 wellbeing and healthcare support
  • Training and future EV/diagnostic development opportunities
  • Share scheme after probation

Ideal Candidate

This role would suit a Technician who enjoys:
✔ Working independently
✔ A varied workload
✔ Diagnostics and in-depth repairs
✔ Delivering excellent customer service
✔ A better work-life balance compared to roadside breakdown roles
