Senior Vehicle Technician, Diagnostic Specialist

Newcastle

£17.75 per hour + Bonus + Time and a half for overtime

Monday to Friday, flexible working hours

We are recruiting a Senior Vehicle Technician with strong diagnostic capability for a well-established and growing automotive business in Newcastle. This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Diagnostic Technician who wants autonomy, stability, and a genuinely positive working environment.

This Senior Vehicle Technician role is fully standalone. You will work alone from a dedicated centre with your own ramp, service area, and secure workspace with lock and key. No shared ramps, no interruptions, and no pressure from overcrowded workshops.

The position is heavily diagnostic-focused. As a Senior Diagnostic Technician, you will be responsible for advanced fault finding, complex vehicle diagnostics, sensor and electrical work, and a high volume of wet belt repairs. You will also carry out a wide range of mechanical repairs across cars. This is not an MOT testing or routine servicing role.

This opportunity would suit an experienced Senior Vehicle Technician who is confident diagnosing and repairing vehicles independently and takes pride in delivering quality work. Strong diagnostic skills are essential, along with the ability to manage your own workload in a calm, well-organised environment.

Working hours are Monday to Friday with flexible start and finish times, making this an excellent role for a Senior Vehicle Technician needing work-life balance or flexibility around family commitments such as school runs.
