Job description

HGV Mechanic - £45,000 to £55,000 - Kent

Leading Transport & Logistics Business Seeking Ex-REME Talent

If you're a REME vehicle mechanic who's spent years keeping vital transport assets moving under pressure, this role has been built around your skill set. You already know how to diagnose faults faster than most people can brief a task. You've kept vehicles running in conditions no manufacturer would sign off. Now picture using that expertise on a modern HGV fleet, with stable hours and an employer who genuinely appreciates what you bring.

This isn't about learning everything from scratch. It's about transferring the mechanical, electrical and diagnostic skills you already have into a role where they're recognised, rewarded, and used on well‑maintained commercial vehicles.

What You'll Be Doing

• Servicing, maintaining and repairing HGVs
• Carrying out diagnostics and fault‑finding
• Working within a supportive workshop team that trusts your judgement
• Keeping fleet vehicles on the road without the pressure of military operational tempos

What You'll Gain

• A competitive salary of £45,000 to £55,000
• Consistent working hours that actually support work‑life balance
• Overtime to bump up your earnings
• Ongoing training and development where useful
• A long‑term role with a respected and growing logistics business

Why REME Mechanics Fit This Role Perfectly

Because you've already mastered engines, transmissions, electrics, diagnostics and problem‑solving in environments tougher than anything you'll find in civilian street. In this role, those skills transfer seamlessly and you'll finally have the stability and support to use them to their full potential.

Take the Next Step

If you're ready to move into a stable, rewarding HGV mechanic role in Kent, apply now. Your experience is exactly what we're looking for.
