About the Role

Looking for a role where every day feels a bit different? You'll be joining a friendly team at a busy site near Hampton in Arden, home to a manufacturing facility, workshops, a fleet of HGVs, storage areas and the main office.
We produce high-quality recycled softwood products, and our fleet is key to keeping everything moving. That's where you come in.
As an HGV Mechanic, you'll work alongside experienced technicians to keep our HGVs and trailers in top shape.

We're looking for someone who's happy working within a 9.5 hour shift pattern, including some weekend work. Flexibility and a great attitude go a long way here.

• Routine PPM, servicing and fault finding on HGV/LGV units and trailers
• Working on Moffett equipment and completing inspections
• 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
