HGV Trailer Technician vacancy in Swindon!
  • Salary: Fully negotiable, depending on experience and shifts worked.
  • Hours: Alternating shift pattern, between days and lates, based on a 45-hour working week. 
  • Benefits: Manufacturer training, further technical training and late shift allowance available, along with an optional roadside recovery/call-out rota that offers fantastic financial benefits.
We are seeking Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Trailer Technicians to join our client's head office in Swindon on an alternating shift pattern. Our client is a family-run automotive commercial vehicle dealer group with multiple centres across Southern England and has been operating for over 36 years.

As an HGV Trailer Technician your key responsibilities will be to carry out all aspects of service, repair and maintenance work on all trailers booked into the workshop, ideally including car transporter bodies. You will liaise with the Foreman, Workshop Controller and Service Team to ensure the best customer service for our client.

Key responsibilities will include: 
  • Trailer inspection.
  • General servicing.
  • Fault diagnosis.
  • Repair of trailer and car transporter body defects (ramps, decks, winches, hydraulics).
  • Road test trailers.
  • Annual test (MOT) preparation/presentation.
  • Brake and running gear maintenance.
  • Completion of all required paperwork accurately.
To be eligible, you should ideally be qualified to IMI/NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair, with several years of experience. However, if you are a qualified Car/LCV Technician looking to move into HGV, our client is willing to provide the necessary training. You should be a committed individual and a good team player, capable of producing high-quality work in a busy workshop environment, and motivated to meet team targets. An active HGV driving license would be advantageous, but is not essential.

What's in it for YOU? For your hard work as an HGV Trailer Technician, our client is offering:
  • A fully negotiable starting salary based on experience and shifts worked.
  • Optional roadside recovery/call-out rota with excellent financial benefits.
  • Optional overtime based on availability, paid at an enhanced rate.
  • 20 days of annual leave plus 8 bank holidays, with an increasing holiday allowance over time.
  • Access to a company pension scheme.
  • Comprehensive in-house and off-site manufacturer-approved training.
  • Additional benefits available after 12-months employment, subject to the relevant scheme terms and eligibility requirements.
  • Opportunities to work with an award-winning family-run business employing over 100 staff.
  • Alternating shift pattern, between days and lates, based on a 45-hour working week.
