Job description

HGV Mechanics required for immediate contract.

Opus People Solutions, on behalf of Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council, is looking for two HGV Mechanics to join the Workshop and Fleet Team on an ongoing contract.

The successful candidates will be based at Bromsgrove Depot or Redditch Depot and will work in a small, friendly team. The environment emphasizes safety and quality over sales and profit, ensuring a supportive workplace.

As an HGV Mechanic, you will undertake servicing, repairs, maintenance, and inspections of fleet vehicles, including road sweepers, refuse vehicles, tippers, vans, and plant machinery owned by the council. You will also carry out low-volume MOTs on taxi, private hire, and public vehicles as needed.

The ideal candidate must have experience working in a fleet workshop and possess the following skills and qualifications:

1. City & Guilds Level 3 or equivalent in HGV repair & maintenance
2. HGV license - Class 2 minimum
3. MOT Testing license (Class 4 & 5) essential; Class 7 desirable
4. Experience with light plant machinery (CITB Plant Operators Certificates highly desirable), including walk-behind and ride-on mowers, chippers, stump grinders, pole saws, and blowers
5. Welding and fabricating skills and certifications are highly desirable
6. Driver CPC Qualification (highly desirable)

If you take pride in your work and want to make a difference in your community—without the pressure of unnecessary sales, focusing only on needed repairs—this role is for you. We would love to hear from you!
