Prep Technician- Morley - #1781757

We are currently looking for a Prep Technician to come and join our family run business in Leeds - Morley.

We offer a market-leading salary and bonus scheme, with full details to be discussed during interview.

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!

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 who are NVQ level 3 trained or equivalent. 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 Skoda/VW brand that would be fantastic but not essential.

Role

What will you need to succeed in the role:

• Drive, passion and enthusiasm to succeed.
• 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.
• MOT Tester beneficial, but not essential
• Experience in new car prep.
  
  

What We Offer

• A competitive salary and bonus package.
• ‘Welcome bonus’- All successful candidates will receive a £1000 ‘Welcome’ bonus in their first months pay, followed by a further £1000 on completion of 12 months at D M Keith.
• Referral bonus: £1,000 on joining and £1,000 after 12 months for both the referrer and the joining technician.
• We offer a retention scheme worth up to £10,000 which increases with length of service.
• Long service rewards.
• A range of training and leadership development programs.
• Manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need to be working for part of a franchise.
• 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, increasing at 5 and 10 years service.
• Preferential service rates and repairs including family and friends vehicles.
• 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.
