[Hiring] Roadside Technician @Allianz Insurance

Role Description

We keep people moving when their plans are disrupted. This role is for experienced vehicle technicians who like variety, autonomy and being the person who makes the call at the roadside. You’ll start and finish from home, run your day from a fully equipped van, and use your diagnostic skills and judgement to get customers safely back on the road or arrange recovery when that’s the right choice.

If you prefer field-based work, clear outcomes, and direct customer contact over a workshop environment, you’ll fit here.

We’re hiring in Glasgow.
