Ready to recharge your career with LKQ Electriq?

A Message from Chris Lennon, Business Operations Manager

Hi, I’m Chris.

Thanks for taking the time to explore this opportunity, we really appreciate it. Before you read more about the role, I wanted to share a bit about who we are, what we stand for, and why this is a genuinely exciting time to join LKQ Electriq.

If you’re a technician who thrives on technical challenges rather than repetitive servicing, you’re in the right place. At LKQ Electriq, we aren’t a traditional workshop. We don’t do MOTs, oil changes, or tyres. We operate a specialist Technical Centre dedicated to the internal repair of electric vehicle batteries and high-voltage systems.

What makes us different? We don’t just swap parts. We work hand-in-hand with our on-site R&D lab and utilise a dedicated Laser Room to develop and execute precision repair solutions that most of the industry hasn’t even seen yet.

Since joining forces with LKQ in 2025, we’ve combined this startup innovation with global scale resources. We are growing our team of specialists and we’re looking for people who want to move away from the grease and oil of the past and into the clean, high-tech future of EV repair.

We value your expertise and your time. That’s why we operate a Monday to Friday schedule with no weekends and no rotas. You get high-level technical work in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

If you’re ready to trade the routine for the Technical Centre, I’d love to hear from you.

Chris Lennon Business Operations Manager
