Job description

The Role

You'll start by focusing on repairs, specifically working on the hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems of various vehicles. This is a workshop-based role for the first few months, so you should be comfortable with a hands-on, and at times, dirty environment.

After a few months, you'll have the opportunity to move into on-site service work. You'll team up with an experienced technician to learn on-site maintenance, repairs, and servicing.

What We're Looking For

• A solid background in vehicle mechanics.
• Experience with HGV or agricultural vehicles is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrics is highly desirable. We can provide training on hydraulics if needed, but a basic understanding is important.
• Essential welding experience: you must have experience with steel welding.
• Desirable welding skills: experience with aluminium welding (MIG/TIG) is a significant advantage.
• A great attitude and a desire to work, including the willingness to take on overtime.
• Familiarity with vehicle electrics is a benefit.

The Perks

• Premium Pay for On-Site Work: Earn an additional £2.40 per hour when you move to on-site servicing.
• Overtime: We offer overtime paid at x1.5 times the standard rate.
• Training & Development: We are committed to helping you grow your skills, especially in on-site service and hydraulics.

If you're a hard-working mechanic who's ready to get your hands dirty and advance your career, we want to hear from you.
