Vehicle Progressor – Navan
Kylemore Cars is Ireland’s largest independent used car
retailer. Established in 2013, the business has grown from strength to
strength, building a strong reputation for quality used vehicles, exceptional
customer service and a straightforward approach to car buying.
In 2022, Kylemore Cars marked a major milestone with the
opening of its purpose-built, state-of-the-art NZEB showroom in Ballymount,
Dublin 12. The first facility of its kind in Ireland, the showroom reflects the
company’s continued investment in innovation, sustainability and the customer
experience.
Building on more than a decade of growth, Kylemore Cars is
now entering another exciting chapter. In late 2026, the company will expand
its dealership footprint with the opening of a new used car showroom at
Balmoral in Navan, bringing the Kylemore Cars offering directly to customers
across County Meath and the wider North-East region.
Our arrival in Navan comes at an exciting time for the town
and, in particular, the wider Balmoral area. Significant public and private
investment is helping to transform and better connect the area, including the
recently completed Blackwater River Town Bridge and Cycleway linking Balmoral
with Blackwater Park and Navan town centre, together with the development of
the new landmark Navan Primary Care Centre at Balmoral.
These developments reflect the wider ambition for Navan and
County Meath as a place to live, work and do business. Kylemore Cars is
delighted to become part of that continued growth and to complement the
investment already taking place through our own significant commitment to the
area, creating new employment opportunities and bringing our established retail
offering to County Meath.
The expansion also reflects the progressive approach being
taken towards economic development within County Meath, with continued
investment in infrastructure alongside supports designed to encourage
businesses to establish, grow and create employment within the county.
As part of this exciting expansion, we are now recruiting
for a number of key positions to form our new Navan team, including Vehicle Progressors.

efficiently through the different stages of our operation and are presented to
the high standard expected by both Kylemore Cars and our customers.

person who enjoys variety and is willing to get involved wherever support is
required.
The successful candidate will ideally:
- Hold a full, clean driving licence and be confident

What is the Opportunity?
The Vehicle Progressor occupies a unique position within the
dealership, working across many different aspects of our operation rather than
being confined to one specific function.
Joining Kylemore Cars Navan provides the opportunity to
become part of a completely new dealership team from the beginning, while
benefiting from the experience, systems and support of an established and
financially secure Irish business.
The varied nature of the position also provides an excellent
opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the motor retail industry,
including vehicle preparation, stock management, advertising, administration,
sales support and dealership operations.
For someone who enjoys a varied working day, likes working
with cars and takes pride in getting things done, this is an opportunity to
become an important part of the day-to-day operation of our new Navan
dealership.

We offer a competitive salary package combined with career
development opportunities within a financially secure and expanding company.
We will recognise and reward hard work, reliability,
initiative and achievement.
