Do you dream of crafting world-class vehicles and seeing your work shine on some of the most iconic roads in the world?

This is your opportunity to become part of Automotive History — join a name synonymous with refined performance, handcrafted excellence, and British luxury. At a world-class facility, you’ll collaborate with dedicated artisans and engineers who share an unwavering passion for automotive perfection. Whether shaping the future or honouring a legacy, your role as a Classic Build Technician will help craft vehicles that are as timeless as they are iconic.

About the Role:

As a Classic Build Technician, you will be responsible for the hands-on mechanical assembly and coachbuilding of classic models and heritage cars. This isn’t your average technician role – you’ll be working on builds that follow specialised documentation, requiring a true craftsperson’s touch and deep understanding of how to adjust, modify, and shape components when things don’t fit quite right – without compromising the vehicle's integrity.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full vehicle build using traditional coachbuilding techniques
  • Interpret complex build documentation unique to heritage models
  • Use hand tools, air tools, and grinders confidently and safely
  • Adjust and modify parts using initiative and expert judgment
  • Ensure high-quality, safety-critical standards are met throughout
  • Collaborate with engineers and other technicians on low-volume builds
  • Contribute to continuous quality checks and improvements during assembly

Who we’re looking for:

  • 2+ years’ experience in classic, vintage, or heritage vehicle builds
  • Strong background in traditional coachbuilding and restoration work
  • Mechanical assembly experience with a focus on fit and finish
  • Comfortable working from technical documentation and diagrams
  • Able to identify and shape parts with care and precision
  • Experience in automotive, motorsport, or specialist coachbuilding
  • Welding experience is advantageous but not essential
  • Enthusiastic, team-oriented, and takes pride in craftsmanship

Why Join?

Join an established team as a Classic Build Technician with a fantastic culture, all within a modern, bright, and airy facility:

  • Be a part of an inclusive and supportive team who genuinely care about celebrating successes.
  • Day Shift – Monday to Friday
  • Work in a modern, bright and airy facility.
  • Opportunity for a long-term contract, working as a Limited Company Contractor

Hours:

Day Shift: Monday to Thursday (7.30am – 3.45pm) and Fridays (7.30am – 11.45am)
