Vehicle Technician – Fish Brothers Chery
£34,000 basic salary, plus bonus and overtime
At Fish Brothers, we’ve been helping the people of Swindon with their motoring needs for more than 75 years. As a multi-franchise dealer group, we’re proud of our strong reputation — but it’s our people who make the real difference. Many of our team have built long and successful careers with us, and we’re now looking for an experienced Vehicle Technician to join our growing Chery team, currently based at our Omoda Jaecoo site.
Chery is an exciting addition to the UK automotive market, bringing a fresh approach to vehicle design, technology and innovation. As one of China's leading automotive manufacturers, Chery has an established international presence and an expanding range of vehicles, including advanced hybrid technology.
With the brand continuing to establish itself in the UK, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved at an early stage, develop your technical expertise and play an important part in the success of a growing franchise.
Why Join Fish Brothers Chery?
Be Part of an Exciting New Brand
Joining Chery offers the opportunity to work with a growing automotive brand as it establishes itself in the UK market. You'll gain experience across a modern vehicle range, develop your knowledge of new technologies and help us build a reputation for excellent aftersales service.
Manufacturer Training & Career Development
You'll have access to Chery manufacturer training and ongoing development to keep your technical knowledge up to date. Whether you're looking to strengthen your diagnostic expertise, develop your understanding of hybrid technology or progress further within the workshop, we'll support you in developing your skills.
A Professional, Well-Supported Workshop
You'll be part of a supportive workshop team with access to manufacturer diagnostic equipment, technical information and systems. We're looking for someone who takes pride in doing the job properly and shares our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
The Stability of an Established Dealer Group
While Chery may be a new name to many UK motorists, Fish Brothers has been part of the Swindon automotive community for more than 75 years. You'll enjoy the opportunity to work with an exciting new franchise while benefiting from the experience, support and stability of an established family-owned dealer group.

- Good diagnostic and problem-solving skills
- A positive, team-focused approach
- Pride in the quality of your work
