CVM World is a leading UK van conversion specialist. We’re experiencing continued growth across our Minibus, Welfare and Bespoke vehicle conversions and need to expand our team accordingly.

As a family owned and managed business, we provide employment opportunities that allow a healthy work-life balance and have successfully introduced a 9-day working fortnight meaning that employees can benefit from in excess of 20 extra days off each year.

As a coach builder in our production team, you’ll be integral to the Company’s growth plans. We specialise in converting Peugeot Boxer and Vauxhall Movanopanel vans into minibuses, some of which are fully accessible with either on-board or underfloor lifts and electric steps. However, we build on all vehicles, including electric and high-quality used vans and it is an exciting time to join the company as we look to expand our production capacity.

You should have good hand to eye coordination, be good with hand tools, be a hard-working team player and be able to produce work of a high standard. Good attention to detail and an excellent work ethic are essential.

• A positive attitude and solution focused approach – A willingness to recognise issues & suggest opportunities for improvement
