About the Role

Independent Aftermarket (IAM) Automotive Technical Trainer
£40,000 + 12% bonus + excellent benefits | Motherwell 

Looking to step away from the tools while still using your technical expertise and building a long-term career?

This role gives you the chance to move into a structured, Monday to Friday position where you’ll develop others, share your knowledge and build your profile as a technical specialist. You’ll gain stability, career progression and a better work-life balance, without losing touch with the automotive industry.


The opportunity

You’ll join a global automotive technology business where your knowledge is valued beyond the workshop.

You’ll deliver training, support technicians and help shape how technical knowledge is shared across the network. Your input will influence how others learn, develop and perform in the field.


What you will do and what you will gain

You will:

  • Deliver technical training that helps technicians improve their skills and confidence
  • Develop training content, giving you ownership over how knowledge is shared
  • Support partners and distributors, building your network across the aftermarket
  • Create training across digital and face-to-face platforms, expanding your skillset
  • Contribute to technical content and events, raising your profile in the industry

Everything you do helps others perform better, while positioning you as a recognised technical expert.


What you will bring

You’ll suit this role if you have strong automotive technical knowledge and want to move into a more people-focused position.

You will likely have:

  • Experience as a technician or in a technical automotive role
  • Level 3 Automotive qualification
  • A good understanding of diagnostics and modern vehicle systems
  • The ability to explain technical information clearly
  • A proactive and organised approach

Training experience isn’t essential. Your attitude and technical ability matter more.


What you get in return

  • £36,500 - £40,000 basic salary
  • 12% annual bonus
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Up to 8% enhanced employer pension contribution
  • Structured working environment with long-term stability
  • Clear development and progression opportunities
  • Access to a wide range of employee benefits and wellbeing support

About the company

You’ll be joining a global leader in automotive technology, known for innovation, quality and long-term investment in people. The business supports customers worldwide and offers strong career development for those who want to grow.


If you’re ready to use your technical knowledge in a different way and build a long-term career, this is well worth a conversation.
