Mobile Tyre Fitter (Construction/Agricultural/Commercial Machinery). Farol Ltd is an extremely successful family owned business. Established in 1976 and now employing over 300 people across our 7 depots, we are the market leaders in agriculture, groundcare and homeowner products, holding the market leading John Deere franchise along with many other brands. We also have a Tyres division, which is where this vacancy sits. As one of our professional Mobile Tyre Fitters, your role will be to fit and maintain agricultural and construction machinery tyres, with a small degree of commercial and car tyre maintenance/fitting as well. 95% of your work will be field-based (i.e. out on our customer’s premises) with a small amount of work carried out in the Tyre bay at our Shefford Woodlands depot (just outside Hungerford). However, you will need to visit the Shefford depot daily to collect equipment needed for you to carry out your work out on site. Geographically, you will cover an area within an hour/90 minutes from Hungerford so ideally you will be located within a commutable distance to the depot (RG17 7BP) to enable a daily visit to pick up equipment whilst also being able to reach all our customers in Berkshire and the surrounding areas. This is a customer facing role so strong interpersonal skills and communication skills are essential. Also, due to the nature of the role, you need to be capable of working with heavy machinery and equipment in an outdoor environment. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to start a long-term career with a highly successful and ever-growing family owned business – and one of the largest John Deere dealerships in the UK. Ideally we are looking for someone with previous tyre fitting experience of some kind, or someone used to working with agricultural/construction machinery. However, we are also willing to take on someone without experience provided they can demonstrate the right aptitude, attitude and willingness to learn. We can offer you a highly competitive basic salary of £32,400 - £34,000, annual bonus, overtime, out of hours retainer and callout payments, half day Fridays every second week. We will also provide you with company uniform and PPE, company vehicle and mobile phone. You will also be able to join our company pension scheme and receive up to 25 days holiday each year (plus Bank Holidays), and also benefit from our free financial planning service. Hours of work are 8am - 5.30pm Monday to Friday (half day Fridays every second week) plus every second Saturday 8.30am - 12.30pm. Farol is one of the leading John Deere dealers in the UK with people at the heart of its strategy. We know that our people are the key to our success and we make sure we appreciate and reward everyone's contribution. Not only do we recognise expertise, skills and professionalism, we value highly the very things that make them unique: their passion, their dedication, their approachability and the fact that going the all-important extra mile is second nature.
