Your future employer has been providing first-class solutions for many years. The standards set in the workshop significantly contribute to ensuring customer satisfaction.

You will carry out inspections on a varied and diverse fleet, including:

• Main dealer heavy goods vehicles (HGVs)
• Refuse collection vehicles
• Road sweepers
• Hook loaders
• Light commercials (vans)
• Trailers and tippers

The work may include, but is not limited to:

• 6 or 8 weekly inspections
• Correction of running defects
• Chassis and fabrication work

If you are looking for a company that invests in staff development, provides up-to-date product training, and supports accreditation attainment, then this company is worth your serious consideration.

Expect to work in a positive and vibrant environment where your efforts are recognized. A skills shortage can be addressed through upskilling, but the right attitude and desire to deliver first-class service cannot be trained.

Ideally, you will be fully qualified (City & Guilds, NVQ, or equivalent). Additional certifications such as IRTEC or EV qualifications are desirable, as are HGV Class 1 or Class 2 licenses.
