Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

This prestigious client is part of a family-run global group that has been providing first-class fleet solutions for many years. They operate locally, nationally, and are a truly international brand.

Your career path will see you upskilled on new products and put through various courses to make you more efficient in your role.

We are looking for a qualified and time-served HGV Technician who can demonstrate a thorough understanding of commercial vehicle mechanical dynamics.

You can expect to be situated in a positive and vibrant working environment where your efforts will be rewarded. A skills shortage can be addressed through upskilling. However, what cannot be taught is the right attitude and the desire to provide first-class service to your clients.

You will be carrying out inspections on a varied and diverse fleet.

You could be working on main dealer heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), refuse collection vehicles, road sweepers, hook loaders, light commercials (vans), trailers, and tippers.

The work you can expect to carry out includes (but is not limited to):

1. Routine (and preventative) maintenance
2. MOT preparation
3. Scheduled servicing to DVSA standards
4. 6 (or 8) weekly inspections
5. Correction of running defects
6. Chassis and fabrication work
7. Hydraulics and pneumatics
8. Improvement of vehicle standards
9. Electrical and wiring inspections and corrections

Ideally, you will be fully qualified (City & Guilds), NVQ, or equivalent.

Additional accreditations such as IRTEC would be desirable, as would a HGV Class 1 license.

So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch for further details and start your next career journey.
