About the Company
We are recruiting for an established UK transport and engineering business delivering general haulage, specialist transport and heavy-lift projects. You will work within an operation where reliable equipment, practical expertise and close teamwork support demanding customer assignments.
The Role
We are looking for an electrically strong vehicle technician to diagnose faults, repair wiring and electrical equipment, and support associated vehicle maintenance. You will work alongside an experienced tachograph technician, with a training pathway to develop the skills and authorisations needed for tachograph-bay support and cover.
Key Responsibilities
- Investigate vehicle electrical faults and carry out repairs using sound wiring and diagnostic practices.
- Install or repair electrical equipment, including lighting and camera systems.
- Work with the established tachograph technician and undertake the agreed training pathway.
- Provide tachograph-bay support and eventual holiday cover only within the competence and approvals achieved.
- Carry out associated vehicle inspection and maintenance tasks within your skills.
- Keep electrical and tachograph work records accurate and protect equipment, cards and data.
- Escalate faults or calibration tasks that require an authorised technician or further technical support.
- Work collaboratively with mechanics to resolve faults that need specialist electrical knowledge.
Skills and Experience Required
- Strong practical vehicle auto-electrical fault-finding and wiring skills.
- NVQ Level 3 HGV Technician qualification or equivalent relevant vehicle/electrical qualification.
- Ability to demonstrate recent diagnosis and repair work rather than general mechanical experience alone.
- Willingness to train for tachograph-bay duties and complete any required competence and approval process.
- Full driving licence and clear technical communication and record keeping.
Desirable Experience
- Existing tachograph training or nominated-technician experience.
- Experience with commercial vehicles and associated electronic or electrical equipment.
- Mechanical servicing experience complementing the electrical specialism.
Candidate Profile
You are a capable auto electrician who enjoys methodical fault-finding and wants to broaden your tachograph skills. You work carefully with vehicle systems and technical records, and understand the importance of training and authorisation before undertaking specialist work independently.
Package and Working Arrangements
We offer varied technical work within a specialist transport and engineering operation, with a three-month probation and review. Contact us to discuss the role-specific hourly rate, overtime arrangements and benefits.
This opportunity offers the chance to apply your vehicle electrical diagnostic skills in a busy transport workshop, while developing specialist tachograph knowledge alongside an experienced technician.
