Company Overview:

Re-Engineered Transmissions is a highly established and well-regarded gearbox specialist based in Rayleigh, Essex. With decades of experience and a reputation for excellence, we specialise in the supply, removal, and refitting of manual, semi-automatic, and automatic gearboxes for a wide range of vehicles.

We are now looking to expand our team with a skilled and confident Car Mechanic to support the continued growth of our busy Essex workshop.

Job Description:

This is a hands-on role focused primarily on the removal and refitting of gearboxes. No gearbox building or internal repair experience is required — this is first and foremost a fitting and removal job. However, any gearbox rebuild or repair experience will be considered a bonus.
It would be advantageous if the successful candidate is able to assist to diagnose and fault-find general vehicle or engine issues when necessary, though the main emphasis is on gearbox removal and roof fitting for both manual and automatic Gearboxes.

Key Responsibilities:

Remove and refit manual, semi-automatic, and automatic gearboxes
Work independently in a professional, well-equipped workshop
Fault-find and diagnose general vehicle or engine issues when required (not essential but advantageous)
Ensure all work meets high safety and quality standards
Communicate clearly with colleagues and workshop management
Candidate Requirements:

Proven experience as a car mechanic (minimum 5 years preferred)
Confident and competent working with and around gearbox types, this does not mean rebuilding them. It means being able to remove and refit them.
Strong mechanical knowledge across a range of vehicles.
Ability to fault-find and problem-solve general vehicle issues
Able to work efficiently, independently, and to deadlines
Full UK driving licence
Gearbox building experience is not essential, but a strong advantage
What We Offer:

Competitive salary (based on experience and skill level)
Full-time, permanent position with job stability
Supportive and friendly working environment
Big Opportunities for progression and some training can be provided however it is expected that the successful candidate should be able to do most of the work (removal and re-fitting) based on own knowledge.

Location:

Our workshop is based in Rayleigh, Essex, within the Brook Road Industrial Estate. Easily accessible from A127, A130 and A13.
