JOB DESCRIPTION
Are you a qualified HGV Technician available for an immediate short-term contract in the Bristol area?
We are recruiting an experienced Heavy Vehicle Technician to provide temporary engineering cover within a busy commercial vehicle maintenance operation.
The preferred working pattern is 4 on / 4 off, with both day and night shifts available. However, the employer is also willing to consider strong technicians who cannot fully commit to the standard shift pattern.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Maintaining high standards of Health & Safety and workmanship
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
To be considered, you should have:
- NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent Heavy Vehicle qualification
- Proven experience working as an HGV Technician or Heavy Vehicle Mechanic
- Strong servicing, maintenance and diagnostic experience
- Good knowledge of DVSA inspection and maintenance standards
- The ability to work independently within a busy workshop environment
- Availability to start at short notice
Previous main dealer or VMU experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
SHIFT OPTIONS
Preferred shifts are:
Day Shift: 06:00 – 18:00
Night Shift: 18:00 – 06:00
4 On / 4 Off
Candidates with alternative availability are still encouraged to apply, as different working arrangements may be considered for the right technician.
