About the Role:
Are you an experienced Engine & Transmission Builder or Classic Car Mechanic looking for a role where quality and craftsmanship come before anything else?
We are recruiting for a highly skilled individual to join a well-established and respected classic car restoration specialist based in Gloucestershire. This is a precision-focused position, working on a wide range of vehicles from pre-war classics through to modern “future classics”.
This is not a production environment - the business is looking for someone with extensive hands-on experience who can confidently strip, rebuild, and assemble engines and gearboxes to an exceptional standard, getting it right first time. You will play a key role within a specialist workshop, working independently and taking ownership of your builds from start to finish.
Key Responsibilities:
- Full strip-down, inspection, and rebuild of classic engines and transmissions
- Assembly of engines, gearboxes, and driveline components to a high standard
- Fault finding using both traditional and modern diagnostic techniques
- Removal and refitting of engines and transmissions
- Producing detailed parts lists, condition reports, and technical documentation
- Supporting wider mechanical restoration projects where required
- Maintaining a clean, organised, and professional working environment
- Extensive experience working specifically with classic cars and engines
- Proven track record in engine and gearbox rebuilds
- Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to deliver right-first-time builds
- Strong fault-finding and diagnostic capability
- Ability to work independently and manage your own workload
- Professional, reliable, and comfortable working in a direct, results-focused environment
- Minimum 5 years’ experience in a relevant automotive role
- Background in classic car restoration, engine building, or motorsport environments highly desirable
- Experience with full vehicle builds or restorations advantageous
- Full UK Manual Driving Licence preferred
- £45,000 – £60,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
- Permanent, full-time position
- Overtime available
- Company pension
- Employee discount
- On-site parking
