You'll also maintain accurate records of all work completed, ensuring compliance with company and legal safety standards. Working closely with colleagues and supervisors, you'll contribute to a positive and professional workshop environment.
This role is based on a 45‑hour working week, with opportunities for overtime. Both day and shift work options are available.
A valid driving licence is required, and a PCV licence is desirable.
The successful candidate will be subject to a probationary period.
