About the Role

Join our close-knit Vehicle Maintenance Unit (VMU) team and play a vital part in keeping our fleet on the road and operating safely.

  • Use resources effectively to deliver the best results for the team and the business.

  • Ensure all repair and maintenance records meet company and legal standards.

  • Strong working knowledge of hydraulic systems.

  • A valid LGV C+E licence (training may be provided for the right candidate).

  • City & Guilds or equivalent qualification in Vehicle Body Repair.

  • Coded welding certification.

Why Join Us?
