  • Strong technical knowledge of HGVs and commercial vehicles
  • Level 3 qualification (NVQ, City & Guilds, or IMI) in HGV Vehicle Repair and Maintenance (essential)
  • Ability to provide technical support and guidance to a large team
  • Organised, methodical, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Full, current UK driving licence – HGV licence beneficial but not essential

You’ll be a great fit if you’re a natural leader, technically strong, and want a stable role with a nationally recognised, high-retention employer that invests in its people.
