Diagnostic Technician

Build your career with the Fish Brothers Volkswagen Service Centre

If you’re an experienced Technician who enjoys getting to the bottom of the jobs that aren’t always straightforward, this could be the opportunity for you.

Fish Brothers is looking for a skilled Diagnostic Technician to join our dedicated Volkswagen Group Service Centre in Swindon, supporting Skoda, SEAT, CUPRA and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

This is more than just another workshop role. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your expertise across multiple Volkswagen Group brands, with access to Volkswagen Group manufacturer training and ongoing technical development. For the right person, there is also the opportunity to work towards Master Technician level in the future.

With modern vehicles bringing together mechanical, electrical, hybrid and EV technology, we’re looking for someone who enjoys the technical side of the job and takes real satisfaction from finding the answer.

Why join our Volkswagen Group team?

Develop your Volkswagen Group career

You’ll have access to Volkswagen Group manufacturer training and development, allowing you to build on your existing skills and continue progressing your technical knowledge and qualifications.

A future route to Master Technician

We want our best technicians to keep developing. For the right candidate, this role offers the opportunity to progress your technical career further and work towards Master Technician level in the future.

You’ll work across Skoda, SEAT, CUPRA and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, giving you excellent variety while building specialist Volkswagen Group knowledge.

Put your diagnostic skills to good use

This is a genuine Diagnostic Technician opportunity. Alongside servicing and repair work, you’ll be trusted to investigate faults, interpret diagnostic information and solve more complex technical issues.

Work with the technology of today – and tomorrow

From established petrol and diesel powertrains through to hybrid and fully electric vehicles, you’ll be working with a broad range of Volkswagen Group technology.

What you’ll be doing

As a Diagnostic Technician, you’ll carry out servicing, maintenance, repairs and diagnostic work to manufacturer standards, with particular responsibility for identifying and resolving more complex faults.

You’ll use diagnostic equipment and technical information to investigate vehicle issues, carry out road testing and fault analysis where required, and work closely with the wider workshop and Service Advisor team to ensure repairs are completed accurately and efficiently.

Just as importantly, you’ll bring a methodical approach to problem solving and take pride in getting the diagnosis right.

What we’re looking for

You’ll need to hold an NVQ Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Service & Repair or equivalent, with strong technical and diagnostic experience.

Previous Volkswagen Group experience would be a real advantage, particularly if you already have experience with Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT, CUPRA or Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. However, we’re also interested in hearing from experienced Diagnostic Technicians from other manufacturer backgrounds who have the technical ability and enthusiasm to develop their Volkswagen Group knowledge.

You’ll be someone who enjoys problem solving, works well as part of a workshop team and wants to continue developing their technical career.

What we offer

£40,000 basic salary plus bonus, together with a great range of benefits including 23 days' holiday, rising to 27 days with service, plus bank holidays and birthday leave, pension contribution matching and life assurance, Health Cash Plan, enhanced family leave, staff discounts and employee Referral Bonuses and salary sacrifice nursery and Cycle to Work schemes

Ready for your next technical challenge?

Whether you’re already working within the Volkswagen Group and looking for your next step, or you’re an experienced Diagnostic Technician from another manufacturer looking to develop your Volkswagen Group expertise, we’d like to hear from you.
