Position: HGV Mechanic/ Technician
The Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated HGV Fitter / Trailer Technician to join our busy workshop team. While you will work across our fleet, this role has a strong focus on the service, inspection, maintenance, and repair of our modern fleet of temperature-controlled (refrigerated) trailers.

Key Responsibilities
  • Maintain & Repair:
    Carry out routine servicing, diagnostics, and repairs on HGV trailers, focusing heavily on refrigerated units
  • Inspections:
    Conduct scheduled PMI (Periodic Maintenance Inspections) to DVSA standards.
  • Fault Finding:
    Diagnose mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and refrigeration system faults.
  • MOT Prep:
    Prepare trailers for annual MOT testing to ensure a first-time pass rate.
  • Compliance:
    Complete all job cards, service sheets, and maintenance records accurately using our digital fleet management system.
What We Are Looking For
  • Qualifications:

    NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair is ideal, but experienced, time-served fitters are strongly encouraged to apply.
  • Experience:

    Proven experience working as an HGV Fitter or Trailer Technician. Direct experience with transport refrigeration units.
  • Skills:

    Strong fault-finding skills across electrical and hydraulic trailer systems.
  • License: A full UK driving license is required. An HGV Class 1 (Category CE) license is a major plus but not essential.
  • Mindset: A safety-first approach with the ability to work efficiently under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly rate/salary with regular overtime opportunities.
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Modern, well-equipped workshop environment.
  • On-the-job training and development
  • Free on-site parking and uniform provided.
