About the Company
We are one of the UK’s leading and most resilient food production companies, responsible for manufacturing and distributing some of the nation’s most iconic, household-favourite food brands. Originally founded nearly a century ago, we have evolved from a traditional bakery business into a highly automated, 24/7 food manufacturing giant.
Our West Bromwich site is a high-volume hub that operates around the clock to meet demanding nationwide delivery schedules. Because our logistics operation is critical to our success, we manage our distribution completely in-house. We run our own dedicated, fully equipped vehicle maintenance workshop on-site to ensure our delivery fleet never skips a beat.
The Fleet You’ll Work On
We invest heavily in our logistics infrastructure, ensuring our engineering team works on modern, reliable assets. Our dedicated West Bromwich fleet includes:
*
Modern Generation Tractor Units & Rigids: A highly standardized fleet of brand-new 18-tonne rigid trucks and high-spec 6x2 tractor units primarily from leading manufacturers like DAF.
*
Specialized Trailer Fleet: A large inventory of high-capacity double-deck trailers and modern tri-axle box vans.
*
Advanced Technology: The workshop is equipped with the latest main-dealer level diagnostic software, and we are continuously trailing new fleet management tech and alternative-fuel vehicles.
Key Responsibilities
As an in-house HGV Technician, you will be part of a close-knit team responsible for the uptime, safety, and compliance of our local distribution fleet.
*
Carrying out routine safety inspections, preventative maintenance (PMI), and servicing on a mixed fleet of heavy rigids, tractor units, and trailers.
*
Diagnosing and rectifying complex mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical faults.
*
Managing trailer maintenance, including moving-deck mechanics and body repairs.
*
Preparing all fleet vehicles and trailers for annual DVSA/MOT testing to maintain our excellent first-time pass rate.
*
Completing digital workshop documentation accurately to satisfy strict transport compliance and audit standards.
What We Are Looking For
*
A fully qualified HGV Technician (NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance, or equivalent).
*
Proven experience working within a commercial fleet workshop, main dealer, or high-volume logistics environment.
*
Strong diagnostic capabilities using modern commercial electronic systems.
*
A proactive approach to safety and a pride in maintaining a clean, efficient workshop environment.
*
An HGV Class 1 (Category CE) license is highly desirable, but not essential.
What’s on Offer?
*
A stable, premium salary of £53,044.92.
*
The job security that comes with working directly for an essential, high-performing food manufacturer rather than a third-party garage.
*
Regular investment in your professional development, including manufacturer-backed training courses.
*
A clean, structured, and modern in-house workshop with excellent facilities.
