A well-established commercial vehicle workshop based in Co. Galway is currently seeking an experienced HGV Mechanic / Technician to join its growing team. The business services a mixed fleet of heavy goods vehicles and trailers, working across leading brands such as MAN, Scania, Isuzu, DAF and similar manufacturers, with additional exposure to transport refrigeration systems as part of the wider operation.


This is a hands-on role within a modern, well-equipped workshop environment and would suit a mechanic with strong diagnostic ability who takes pride in their work and is comfortable taking ownership of jobs while supporting junior team members where required.

  • A strong command of English is required, with a minimum level of B2 across speaking, reading and writing. 


Candidates must have EU or UK citizenship, an existing right to work in Ireland, or be eligible for a work permit. While this role is primarily focused on candidates already in Ireland, Work permit support may be considered for suitable applicants depending on experience, and in exceptional cases may be offered to the right candidate.
