About the Role

We’re looking for a skilled Vehicle Technician (Level 3 / NVQ equivalent) to join our warranty rework team. In this hands-on role, you’ll be responsible for stripping down, investigating, and rebuilding engines from vehicles returned to our Warranty warehouse. These engines will often come from customer vehicles/dealerships with warranty issues that require detailed investigation, heavy mechanical rework, and precise rebuilds.

You’ll be at the heart of our quality and engineering improvement process — not only rebuilding engines, but also providing valuable feedback to ensure issues are resolved and product reliability continues to improve.

Key Responsibilities

• Strip down, inspect, and rebuild engines in line with manufacturer specifications.
• Carry out heavy mechanical rework to address identified issues.
• Work on engines from prototype and customer vehicles returned under warranty.
• Investigate root causes of mechanical failures and defects.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to resolve issues and improve future builds.
• Accurately record inspection findings, test results, and rework outcomes using internal reporting systems.
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, safety, and efficiency within the workshop.

Skills & Experience Required

• Level 3 NVQ (or equivalent) in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair or equivalent 
• Proven hands-on experience with engine builds, strip-downs, and mechanical overhauls.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems and engine components.
• Familiarity with diagnostic and inspection tools.
• Able to interpret technical drawings, build manuals, and specifications.
• Confident using basic IT tools for recording work, test data, and outcomes.
• A methodical, detail-focused approach with a commitment to quality.

Desirable

• Experience working in a prototype or warranty investigation environment.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge engines and vehicles.
• A varied and challenging workload with direct impact on product quality.
• Competitive pay and contract terms.
• Supportive, skilled team environment.

If you’re a highly skilled Vehicle Technician with a passion for problem-solving and precision, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of the team driving continuous improvement in our engines.
