About Us

Auto-scan is a leading provider of quality assurance and inspection services to the automotive industry. With years of experience and a commitment to excellence, we partner with top automotive manufacturers to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.

The Role

As a Technician, you will carry out hands-on mechanical and cosmetic modifications on commercial vans and 4x4s. Daily tasks include fitting pre-drilled plywood lining, applying scuff protection, and installing customer accessories such as tow bars, tie hooks, and alloy wheels.

You will drive vehicles to and from the workshop compound, follow standardized build plans (TAKT times), scan vehicle IDs, and perform final Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) to ensure all work meets dealer specifications.

This role requires a practical, mechanically minded approach and confidence using hand and power tools like spanners, wrenches, and powered screwdrivers.

You will receive full training on all assembly processes, starting with a mandatory half-day onsite driving assessment, followed by a period working alongside an experienced technician.

You will also assist with parts restocking during line stoppages to keep production moving. If you can read build instructions, follow set workflows, and take pride in quality workmanship, this role provides steady, practical work in a structured workshop environment.

Weekend Overtime is also required on an ad hoc basis to recover shortfalls against the build plan, typically, this will be a day shift on Saturday or Sunday.

All applications will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
