EV Tech Recruit is recruiting an experienced IMI Level 4 EV-Qualified Vehicle Technician on behalf of a specialist automotive engineering business working with organisations across the EV battery manufacturing, bus and coach sectors.

This is a hands-on technical position for someone with strong EV diagnostic and battery-system knowledge who is comfortable working independently in the field.

The Role

The position will initially be predominantly field based, supporting customers across the South East of England and typically covering approximately a 50-mile radius.

• Diagnosing issues relating to electric vehicles and EV battery systems
  
• Carrying out technical work in customer environments
  
• Working independently while travelling between customer sites
  
• Providing practical technical support across a range of vehicle applications
  

The company is currently in the process of opening a workshop in the South East. As the operation develops, the position is expected to become a mixture of field and workshop-based work, although it will primarily be field.

Employment Structure

The successful candidate will initially join the business on a one-month temporary, paid basis, employed and paid directly by the company.

This period is designed to allow both the technician and employer to assess suitability and fit.

Following successful completion of the initial month, the intention is for the technician to transition into a permanent position.
