Full Description

MOT Tester | Vehicle Technician | Mechanic

Salary: Excellent Base with OTE £50,OOO - Uncapped bonus

Location: Hanley, Stoke on Trent

You know the drill: car in, test done, onto the next. But at Holdcroft, we know that an MOT license and a Level 3 qualification are badges of expertise. We are looking for a Vehicle Technician/MOT Tester who wants the high-volume environment of a thriving Hanley workshop, but with the backing of a family-run business that actually invests in your career.

The Holdcroft Difference

The Pay: A highly competitive base salary with an uncapped bonus structure. If you’re efficient and high-quality, your OTE hits £50,000. Need flexible hours? Let’s talk. We can adjust schedules to fit your life, with the hourly rate to match.

The Progression: If you’re a Tech without an MOT license, we’ll help you get it. If you’re a Tester wanting to move into Master Tech territory, we have the manufacturer training slots ready for you.

The Gear: You’ll have the latest tooling and diagnostic support. No "making do"—just the right kit for the job.

NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) is essential.
A valid UK Driver’s Licence.
An MOT Licence is a massive plus (but if you don’t have one, we’ll help you get there).
A pride in your work - you’re confident speaking to customers and ensuring every car leaves safer than it arrived.
