Are you an experienced HGV Technician or Mobile Engineer who enjoys working independently, solving problems on the road, and keeping essential municipal vehicles moving? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected organisation maintaining a modern fleet of refuse trucks, sweepers, gully vehicles, hook‑loaders, gritters and specialist municipal equipment.

We’re looking for a confident, capable technician with strong diagnostics skills and a solid background in commercial vehicles or heavy plant.

Hydraulics and pneumatics

Improvement of vehicle standards

Electrical and wiring inspections and corrections

What We’re Looking For

Experience as an HGV Technician, Commercial Vehicle Technician, Mobile HGV Engineer, Plant Fitter, or Field Service Engineer

Strong diagnostics and fault‑finding ability

Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics and municipal equipment

Full UK driving licence (HGV Class 1/2 beneficial but not essential)

LOLER, tail‑lift or refuse‑vehicle experience is a bonus

Ex‑forces (REME / military vehicle techs) strongly encouraged to apply

What You’ll Receive

Competitive salary + overtime

Company van + fuel card

Tools, training and ongoing development

Stable, long‑term role within a growing municipal fleet operation

Supportive team, modern equipment and varied daily work

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t a repetitive workshop job — it’s a mobile role where you’ll use your technical ability, independence and problem‑solving skills every day. You’ll be working on essential municipal vehicles that keep communities running, with strong job security and excellent long‑term prospects.
