You’ll work with a dedicated workshop team, gain experience using our fleet management systems, and support a service that helps keep our communities safe.

- Receiving, unloading, checking, and stocking delivered parts and equipment
- Issuing stock and components to workshop technicians as required
- Raising orders and processing transactions using the Fleet Management System
- Using electronic parts catalogues (EPCs) to identify correct parts and pricing
