- Maintaining a clean, organised, and professional working environment
Skills & Requirements:
- 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
Education & Experience:
- 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
Pay & Benefits:
- £45,000 - £60,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
- Permanent, full-time position
- Overtime available
- Company pension
- Employee discount
- On-site parking
