Vehicle Diagnostic Technician - TMS Kia Loughborough
Due to continued growth, TMS Motor Group is offering a great opportunity for an experienced Vehicle Technician to join their busy, successful Aftersales Team at their award-winning family owned and run Loughborough Kia dealership.
We need a problem solver!
We’re looking to expand our technical team, and are looking for a dynamic and self-motivated service & diagnostic technician (at least NVQ level 3 or an equivalent) ideally with current MOT testing qualifications.
You will be able to demonstrate a passion for problem solving through use of diagnostic equipment and a systematic approach, combined with advanced technical knowledge to rectify issues found and be confident discussing those issues with customers and explaining in detail any work required and carried out.
And a forward thinker
You also need to have the capacity to grow your skills and knowledge. As product ranges become more technologically advanced, there is a need for technicians to keep up to speed with latest developments, for example electric/hybrid technology. There will be plenty of opportunity for this - through manufacturer training, both online and on instructor led courses, leading to ongoing certifications.
With team spirit
You will be working in a fast-moving environment, with the scope to work as part of a multi-skilled team on a vehicle. So organisational and planning skills are key here, as well as the ability to use your initiative.
