HGV Technician - Swindon.
  • Salary: Fully negotiable pending experience, plus optional overtime.
  • Hours: Either split-shift or night shifts available. Hours are detailed below. 
  • Benefits: Opportunity to work with an award-winning family-run business operating for over 35 years, employing over 100 members of staff.
Our client, a family-run automotive commercial vehicle dealer group with multiple centres across Southern England, is currently recruiting for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Technicians to work either a split shift or a night shift at one of their clients in Swindon.

Reporting to the Workshop Manager and working as part of a team, your key objectives will include:
  • To complete all service work and defined maintenance work of the utmost quality and efficiency within manufacturers' time schedules.
  • To deliver professional performance in all aspects of work activities to make an essential contribution to the value and retention of customers.
  • Support colleagues in the workshop with any technical issues and innovations.
  • Ability to carry out comprehensive diagnosis and repairs of malfunctions.
  • To ensure that all company policies and procedures applicable to their area of responsibility are always adhered to.
  • Document the results of diagnosis/repairs/service/safety inspections.
To be eligible, you will be qualified to IMI/NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair with several years' experience beyond your qualification; however, our client has stressed that if you're an equally qualified Car/LCV Technician looking to make the move over to HGV, then they are willing to offer the necessary training to convert over. Overall, you will need to be a committed individual and a good team player. You must be able to produce high-quality work in a busy workshop environment and be motivated to work towards targets set for your team. Technicians with an active HGV driving licence would be highly advantageous; however, this is non-essential.

What's in it for YOU? For your hard work as an HGV Technician, our client is offering…
  • Starting salary negotiable pending experience.
  • Optional overtime subject to availability, paid at an enhanced rate.
  • 20 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays, with your holiday allowance increasing over the length of service.
  • Access to a NEST pension scheme.
  • Full in-house and off-site manufacturer-approved training.
  • BHSF benefits available after 12 months' employment.
  • Opportunity to work with an award-winning family-run business operating for over 33 years, employing over 100 members of staff.
  • Two shift options available...
  • Split Shift: Week 1 is Monday to Friday, 6:00am-6:00pm, with a 30-minute unpaid break. Week 2 is Monday to Friday, 10:00am-10:00pm, with a 30-minute unpaid break.
  • Night Shift: Monday to Friday, 10:00pm-7:30am, with a 30-minute unpaid break.
