Job description

Overview

As Riverside Motor Group continues to grow, so do our opportunities…

We are now looking for an experienced Senior Technician to join our Volvo dealership in Doncaster, with a clear pathway to progress to Master Technician through training, development, and proven ability.

Already a Master Technician? We’d love to hear from you! This role is equally suited to an established Master Technician seeking a new challenge in a supportive, forward-thinking dealership.

Immediate start is available for the right candidate.

The Company – Who will I be working for?

Established in 1982, we are an independently owned business that prides itself on outstanding customer service in our award-winning dealerships located in Doncaster, Wakefield, Barnsley, Hull, Leeds and Sheffield. Our dealerships are recognised by their respective car manufacturers as offering the highest standards of customer service and care.

As authorised Volvo, SEAT, Cupra, Honda, Polestar, BYD and Used Car dealers, we have specialist Sales Executives, Aftersales Advisors and Technicians to assist our customers with any query that they may have.

We constantly seek to attract highly motivated individuals that want to work as part of a team and share in the commitment, responsibility, accountability, and discipline required to achieve our Vision.

The Role – What You’ll Be Doing

As a key member of our team, you will ensure the efficient, effective and advanced diagnostics, maintenance and repairs, while supporting and mentoring other technicians. Depending on your level of experience, you will either:

• Step into the role as a Master Technician, taking the lead on the most complex work, OR
• Join as a Senior Technician with the opportunity to develop into a Master Technician through manufacturer-accredited training and ongoing support.

Either way, you’ll represent technical excellence, customer assurance, and brand integrity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform advanced diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs across mechanical, electrical and electronic systems
• Troubleshoot challenging faults using manufacturer-approved tools, software, and technical data
• Keep up to date with manufacturer updates, emerging technologies, and EV/ADAS systems
• Mentor and support junior technicians and apprentices, sharing knowledge and best practices
• Ensure all work meets group and manufacturer standards, health and safety regulations, and workshop quality benchmarks
• Accurately maintain records of work carried out and communicate effectively with the wider team
• Contribute to workshop efficiency, decision-making, and technical problem-solving

About You – What We’re Looking For

You may already be a Master Technician, or you may be an experienced Senior Technician ready to take that next step in your career. Either way, you’ll bring technical expertise, a proactive attitude, and a commitment to high standards.

• Level 3 IMI qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
• Proven experience in diagnostics and complex repair work
• Strong knowledge of modern vehicle systems, including electrical and electronic
• Ability to follow manufacturer repair procedures and deliver consistently high-quality workmanship
• Strong mentoring, leadership, and problem-solving skills
• A commitment to continuous learning and development
• Full UK driving licence with no excessive points or disqualifications

Desirable but not essential:

• MOT licence
• EV/Hybrid training or certification
• OEM/manufacturer training accreditations

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary with bonus structure.
• Opportunity to progress to Master Technician (if currently Senior) or step straight into the role if already accredited.
• Access to manufacturer-accredited Master Technician training and technical support
• Clear career development and leadership pathways within the group
• Staff discounts, company benefits, and pension scheme
• A dynamic, team-focused environment that recognises expertise and values your input

Benefits

• Employee discount
• Company pension
• Cycle to work scheme
