About this vacancy

More and more people are choosing Steven Eagell Toyota to get their vehicles serviced. This means we are looking to recruit an Apprentice Parts Advisor to meet this increased demand within our Toyota workshop and the team at Colchester. You'll be working Mon-Fri 0800-1630 with hour for lunch, plus alternate Saturdays 0830-1300.

As an Apprentice Parts Advisor, you will co-ordinate all parts sales to make sure that customers and Technicians are always able to have the parts they need when they need them. This involves using the Centre's sophisticated computer system to log stock movements and produce orders, liaising with your colleagues, developing your selling skills to improve parts sales performance and dealing with enquiries from both trade and retail customers.

During your time you will attend training at our state-of-the-art training centre in Derby. Full training given via Toyota 2 year apprenticeship scheme to NVQ Level 2 retailer.

A competent Parts Advisor has many transferable skills throughout the retail motor industry. It is not uncommon for a Parts Advisor to progress through the ranks to become Parts Managers, After Sales Managers or Service Managers.

Good luck.
