The business is a well established contractor of several hundred people and runs its own mixed fleet of vans and HGVs. The Van Technician joins the in house workshop team, working on the company's own vehicles rather than a queue of customer jobs.

The role would suit a Van Technician, Light Commercial Technician or Vehicle Technician from a dealer, fleet or fast fit background. There are no lates: the Van Technician works day shifts, 06:00 to 16:00 or 07:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday, with flexibility. That makes 50 hours a week, as 10 hour days with a paid 1 hour break.

• Preparing vans for MOT.
• Diagnosing and repairing defects reported by drivers.

• Occasional breakdown support to keep the fleet on the road.

Candidate Requirements

• A Van Technician or Vehicle Technician with proven light commercial repair experience.
• City and Guilds Level 1 to 3 Vehicle Technician, or equivalent.
• Confident with diagnostic equipment.
• A working knowledge of commercial vehicle legislation.
• Your own tools; specialist tools are supplied.
• A full UK driving licence.
• Fleet workshop experience would be advantageous.

What's on Offer

• £15 to £17 an hour (£39,000 to £44,200 per annum), depending on experience.
• Optional Saturday overtime on top.
• Day shifts only, 06:00 to 16:00 or 07:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday.
• A paid 1 hour break every day.
• A permanent role on an in house fleet, not a customer workshop queue.
• A stable, well established employer, with training and progression.
