Why Ocado?

Here at Ocado Logistics, it's our mission to provide an outstanding customer experience for our partners, developing groundbreaking technology, opening multiple sites at an accelerating rate, and engaging in exciting new business partnerships around the world—changing the way the world shops, for good. We are the beating heart of our UK business, ensuring that we optimise the experience across the supply chain to deliver an exceptional shopping experience.

We offer a career where no two days are ever the same and provide a supportive workplace that values diversity and inclusivity.

We wouldn't be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members — who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers' products picked and packed and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels. We are currently looking for a Vehicle Maintenance Technician to join our team to ensure our fleet remains safe and efficient.

In this role, you will be responsible for the routine maintenance and repair of our delivery fleet, ensuring all vehicles meet safety standards and operational requirements. You will play a vital part in keeping our logistics network moving by performing everything from minor accident repairs to the installation of advanced vehicle technology.

As a Vehicle Technician, you will use your engineering and repair skills to maintain a safe and efficient fleet. Your daily tasks will include:

• Executing mechanical repairs including electrical work, wheel changes, and defect repairs as documented in driver reports.
• Performing technical installations and removals of critical vehicle technology such as telematics and collision cameras.
• Conducting periodic van "health check" inspections and assessing refrigeration unit defects prior to specialist engineer call-outs.
• Maintaining site-specific equipment, including minor repairs to LGV equipment and delivery tools like sack barrows.
• Managing technical administration by ordering spare parts, controlling stock, and completing FMS cost pages and insurance invoices.

If you're ready to get stuck in, we want to hear from you! We understand starting a new role is a journey, so we are committed to providing you with the necessary training and guidance as you learn our specific fleet processes.
