Summary
Mobile Vehicle Technician – Chesterfield
Basic Salary: £35,000 + Overtime (Realistic earnings up to £53,000)
Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday–Sunday shift rotation
Start times between 6am–12am | Overtime paid at time-and-a-half
Ready to take your career on the road? We’re recruiting Mobile Vehicle Technicians across the Chesterfield area for one of the UK’s most recognised and respected breakdown organisations. This is your chance to join a company known for exceptional training, industry-leading support, and genuine career progression.
You’ll be given your own fully equipped van, start and finish your day from home, and enjoy a role where no two days are the same.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Start and finish on your driveway – no unpaid travel time
- Fully equipped, state-of-the-art company van (tools, uniform, diagnostics)
- Training from day one with continuous development opportunities
- Free breakdown cover for you and your household
- Excellent overtime availability paid at time-and-a-half
- Life assurance linked to pension
- Flexible benefits platform supporting health, wellbeing, and lifestyle
- Clear career pathways into senior, diagnostic, or specialist roles
This is a company that invests heavily in its people — from your first day to your future progression.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician / Roadside Technician, you’ll be the face of the business, attending roadside breakdowns and supporting customers when they need it most. Your day-to-day will include:
- Diagnosing faults at the roadside and carrying out repairs where possible
- Ensuring vehicles are safely recovered to workshops when required
- Providing clear, friendly advice to customers
- Carrying out servicing, maintenance, electrical work, and diagnostics
- Delivering outstanding customer service at every call-out
This is a role for someone who enjoys independence, problem-solving, and variety.
What We’re Looking For
- Level 3 Vehicle Technician qualification (proof required)
- Full UK driving licence
- Strong all-round technical ability: mechanical, electrical, and diagnostic
- Confident working independently and supporting customers face-to-face
