• Full training provided, including support towards Level 3 AET.
• Join a growing provider with strong employer partnerships and long-term progression opportunities.

• Heavy Vehicle, Bus & Coach, PSV, or relevant Commercial Vehicle background.
• Level 3 qualification required.
• Strong technical knowledge of inspections, safety checks, diagnostics, and current industry standards.
• Recent industry experience highly desirable.
• Confident delivering both theory and practical content.
