Are you an experienced HGV Technician or Mobile Engineer who enjoys working independently, solving problems on the road, and keeping essential municipal vehicles moving?

- Strong diagnostics and fault-finding ability
- Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics and municipal equipment
- Full UK driving licence (HGV Class 1/2 beneficial but not essential)
