- Proven experience as a vehicle mechanic (HGV or commercial vehicles preferred)
- We will also consider experienced car/automotive technicians who have strong transferable mechanical and diagnostic skills and are keen to move into a mobile HGV role. If you’re looking
- Own tools required – Essential
- Full UK driving licence (maximum 6 points – SP codes only)
- Strong diagnostic and fault-finding ability
- Comfortable working alone in a mobile environment
- Flexible and willing to take part in an on-call rota
