We’ve created some of the most innovative vehicles ever made, and as a Service Technician Trainee, you’ll help ensure these vehicles are repaired & maintained to a high standard for our customers.

During this 24-month training program you will receive world class training from Tesla technical trainers who are experts in their field. A strong emphasis on fundamental skills and knowledge will set the foundation of your career as a Tesla Technician. All programme training will be hosted from our dedicated training facilities in Heathrow and/or Manchester.

This programme has a strong focus on potential rather than academic achievement. For this reason, please note the recruitment process for this programme will only consist of 2 stages; a short telephone screening call with a Tesla Recruiter, and an in-person group assessment session (hosted at select locations) later this year.

This is your chance to enroll onto our industry-leading in-house training schedule, providing you with a challenging, yet exciting hands-on opportunity to fast-track your career as a Tesla Technician. Your progression & performance will be reviewed at each key training interval, equipping you with all the tools & skills required to succeed, and allowing you to further grow and develop your skills beyond the 24-month programme. This is a fantastic opportunity for motivated self-starters who thrive in taking accountability for their own learning & development.

What you’ll do:

• Learn and understand how to perform basic inspections, repairs & maintenance of Tesla vehicles
• Always follow safety protocols & maintain professionalism
• Learn effectively & efficiently throughout a fast-paced hybrid training schedule
• Effectively handle multiple priorities, workload, and deadlines
• Pass the mid-point & end-point programme assessments in order to graduate from the programme

Whilst this format may be subject to change dependent on business needs, you can expect to learn technical modules such as: Chassis, Body, Glazing, Electrical, Infotainment, Driver Assistance Systems, Drivetrain, Thermal Systems, Vehicle inspection and Service. As part of our dedicated ‘enrichment weeks’ you’ll also have the chance to experience some of our other key Tesla functions across the business; these opportunities are designed to broaden your skillset & experience even further beyond the core programme offering.

Your journey doesn’t end with the Traineeship. Working alongside our people-focused leadership team, subject to your performance & progression during the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to map out your potential future career trajectory within Tesla Service. Upon completion of the Traineeship, you’ll be given the opportunity to apply for any available full-time Tesla Service Technician roles that align with your strengths and aspirations.
