Job description

I'm currently working with a well-established, family-run business that's been producing high-quality fruit for the UK market since the 1960s. While their roots are in agriculture, they now need someone who knows their way around engines-not just tractors and harvesters, but cars, minibuses, and trucks too.

They're looking for a Vehicle Mechanic to join their growing team and help keep their expanding fleet in top condition. Whether it's a delivery van, a 4x4, or a truck that needs servicing, your expertise will be essential in keeping everything moving smoothly on and off the farm.

What They're Looking For:

• A natural problem solver with a hands-on attitude

• Someone confident working independently, but also a strong team player

• Reliable communicator-because good teamwork starts with clear communication

You'll Need Experience In:

• Mechanical work on a broad range of vehicles, including cars, minibuses, and trucks

• Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs

• Servicing and maintaining vehicles (MOT prep included)

• Welding (a big plus!)

• Driving farm machinery and forklifts (beneficial, but not essential)

• A full UK driving licence is a must

What You'll Be Doing:

• Inspecting and repairing a range of on-road vehicles, from cars to commercial vehicles

• Attending breakdowns and carrying out emergency repairs

• Scheduling and performing regular maintenance

• Keeping accurate maintenance records

• Managing parts and procurement cost-effectively

• Supporting wider farm operations during peak times

• Ensuring all work meets Health & Safety standards

What's in It for You?

• Monday to Friday role

• Overtime available

• Great team environment

• A chance to be part of a successful and supportive family-run business
