Mobile Vehicle Technician

Job Description:

Mobile Vehicle Technician – Leicester
Hourly Rate: £18.58 (£38,652 per year)
Overtime: £27.87 per hour after 40 hours
Example: Work 45 hours per week and earn £45,800+
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8am–4:30pm + 1 in 4 Saturdays (with a weekday off)
Looking for a role with freedom, stability, and a clear route to higher earnings? We’re recruiting Mobile Vehicle Technicians across Leicester and the surrounding areas for one of the UK’s most trusted and well‑established breakdown organisations.
You’ll start and finish your day from home, enjoy industry‑leading training, and work with a company that genuinely invests in your long‑term career.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Start and finish on your driveway – no unpaid travel time
• 31 days annual leave, rising to 33 with service
• Training from day one with ongoing development
• Fully equipped, state‑of‑the‑art company van (tools, uniform, diagnostics)
• Free breakdown cover for you and your household
• Clear progression plan to increase your base salary
• Life assurance linked to pension
• Flexible benefits platform supporting health, wellbeing, and lifestyle

This is a company that rewards skill, effort, and ambition.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician / Roadside Technician, you’ll be the person customers rely on when they need help most. Your day-to-day will include:

• Diagnosing faults and advising customers clearly and confidently
• Carrying out servicing, maintenance, electrical work, and diagnostics
• Repairing vehicles roadside where possible
• Delivering exceptional customer service — you’re the face of the business

Every day brings something different, and you’ll have the autonomy to manage your own workload.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum Level 2 Vehicle Maintenance & Repair qualification (proof required)
• OR time‑served mechanic with at least 5 years’ full‑time experience
• Full UK driving licence
• Strong technical background across mechanical, electrical, and diagnostic work

If you enjoy problem‑solving, working independently, and helping customers on the road, this is the perfect next step.
