This position is ideal for those looking to leverage their technical expertise in a dynamic environment, serving customers across East Sussex, Kent, London & Greater London (South-east), and East Surrey. With a competitive salary ranging from £30,000 - £35,000 per annum (OTE £32k - £38k), with an increase to £35,000 - £40,000 per annum (OTE £35k - £41k) for those with Gas qualifications, this role offers significant earning potential.

You'll benefit from first-class induction and ongoing learning opportunities, allowing you to acquire new skills and certifications. The company emphasizes on-the-job training, enabling you to build a career and learn skills valuable both within and outside of work.

• Work-Life Balance: The shift pattern averages 41 hours per week, working 5 days over 7, with a rostered approach that includes some Saturday working. Crucially, there are no Sundays, offering a better work-life balance.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Employees enjoy a generous 30 days of annual leave (including bank holidays), a competitive pension scheme, company-provided tools and a van, and attractive product discounts across the latest technology.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

• Customer-Centric Approach: While technical skill is essential for testing, diagnosing, and repairing white goods, building rapport with customers is equally important. You'll be the face of Currys in their homes, and your ability to provide excellent service and put customers at ease will be key to your success.
• Technical Proficiency: Proven experience in white goods repairs is a must. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical knowledge across a range of appliances. While not essential, ACS Qualifications (or equivalent) in Essential Gas Safety Domestic (CCN1) and Gas Cookers and Ranges (CKR1) would be a significant advantage, leading to higher earning potential.
• Driving Requirements: A full UK/EU driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points is required for this mobile role.
• Problem-Solving Skills: You will be expected to diagnose and fix faults, requiring strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to get products back on track.
