Tyre Technician

Tyre Technician

The Tyre Technician makes sure our tyres are fitted safely and correctly.

If you've got a sharp eye for detail, experience with heavy transport tyres, and take pride in sending out a high-quality finished product, keep reading.

In plain English… You'll be responsible for the technical side of tyre removal and fitting, making sure vehicles are ready to leave the shop safely. This is a hands-on, physical, and fast-paced role. You'll be trusted to manage your own time and ensure safety protocols are followed.

This could be a great fit if you love variety and quality… If you enjoy the mechanical, heavy-duty side of transport and get a real sense of satisfaction from seeing a truck leave ready for the road, this is for you.

You'll be working on trucks, trailers, and buses, so you need to be comfortable with the scale of the equipment. This role values someone who doesn't cut corners, follows the process, and treats every vehicle as if it were their own. It's steady work with a good team, consistent Monday - Friday hours, and a well-equipped workshop to get the job done right.

What you'll actually do Around 70% of your time is focused on the stripping and fitting of wheels. The remaining 30% is spent learning how to strip and fit trucks and trailers, so there's real opportunity to grow your skills on the job.
