You have just contributed to ensuring that Britain’s roads are one of the safest in Europe. How did you do that?
You are at a roadside check, alongside other agencies, inspecting vehicles to make sure they are safe to drive.
You find a defect on a vehicle, the driver is in a rush and you have to make a decision whether to allow the driver to carry on driving it, or to take enforcement action.
You are a DVSA Commercial Vehicle Examiner. What would you do?
We are looking for self-motivated individuals to join our professional enforcement team as a Commercial Vehicle Examiner.
Vehicle Examiners contribute to the integrity of road safety and standards to keep Britain moving safely and sustainably.
What did you do this week?
* I carried out roadside checks and prohibited dangerous vehicles from continuing with their journeys.
* I wrote reports on my findings.
* I presented evidence at a Public Inquiry / Court.
* I attended a team meeting and collaborated with my colleagues.
* I made a difference to the safety of our roads.
A typical Commercial Vehicle Examiner will also:
* Analyse data, looking for discrepancies and trends.
* Answer technical queries from customers, offering advice, guidance and education as required.
* Keep their technical knowledge up to date and manage their personal development.
* Be an effective teammate and contribute to team events and meetings.
