• Hydraulic and electrical work across different types of machinery
• Getting involved with our bespoke blower trailers and blowing equipment
• Brake testing and general braking system repairs
• Pre-LOLER checks where needed
• Occasional welding and fabrication
• Attending off-site breakdowns
• Receiving full on-the-job training where required

What We're Looking For

• NVQ Level 3 in HGV Motor Mechanics (required)
• IRTEC qualification (desirable)
• HGV licence (desirable)
• Auto-electrics experience (desirable)
• Hydraulic experience or qualification (desirable)
• Strong awareness of safe working practices
• A positive, "can-do" attitude
