Job description
Tyre Fitters – Corby – OTE 30-35K+

Would you like to be part of a huge corporation and have the backing that many don’t have?

Would you like to do your job with market leading equipment, new vans, the best health and safety procedures and training that is all paid for you?

How about a tyre fitter role that has a bonus attached to it, a pension and a very competitive salary? Not to mention the overtime you can earn as well with us. Typically, you can earn an OTE between 30-35K+ a year.

Do you have zero experience in tyre fitting, but have worked in similar fields or are you looking for a career change?

Would you like to work within a company that has won some major contracts with some of the biggest names in the industry? Oh, and if you have worked for us for a year, we also give you a set of tyres as well!

If you like what you have read so far.... then please see below.

GoodYear is the largest tyre company in the world and is a brand that is looking for several tyre fitters to support them all the way through their career.

Our Company

It has a strong safety culture and everyone is expected to adhere to health and safety standards.

Working remotely from your van, you will be replacing and servicing truck tyres at customer locations and attending roadside breakdowns. You will need to record job-related information and there will be some out of hours working required. On occasions you will also be involved in unloading deliveries at your hub location.

What you need

A recognised qualification in Tyre Fitting (Bus, Truck & Coach and Roadside Breakdown).

If not, we will consider candidates with a good knowledge of tyres and significant car, van and truck tyre fitting experience who are keen to become qualified as accredited City & Guilds training will be provided.

· Confidence using electronic devices e.g. a tablet and computer

· Experience of dealing with customers face to face or via telephone/email

· Able to manage and prioritise your own workload

Additional benefits

· 23 days holiday, plus Bank Holidays

· Life assurance

· A competitive pension scheme

· 4 free tyres annually (after 12 months continuous service)
