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.

* 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.
