Career progression
Vehicle Technicians at Arnold Clark can progress into a range of roles, such as:
“I started at Arnold Clark as a technician back in 1996, when the company was a lot smaller than it is today. Over the last 30 years, it’s been incredible to witness and be part of that growth. With the company’s continued support, training, and trust, I’ve been able to progress through every stage of my career, from Master Technician to Workshop Controller, Service Manager, multi-site franchise management, and now the Head of Aftersales.
It’s taken a lot of hard work, long hours, and time away from home, but the opportunities and sense of achievement have made it all worthwhile. Arnold Clark has always encouraged professional development, and I’m proud to now mentor the next generation of technicians and managers coming through the business.”
