Overview
We’re looking for an HGV Technician to join an award-winning commercial vehicle specialist in Swindon on the night shift. This is a proper workshop role with a serious shift premium – the night allowance makes a real difference to your take-home.

If you’re qualified, experienced, and prefer working nights with a team that actually supports each other, this is the one.

Key Responsibilities

• Performing major and minor repairs to HGVs, trailers, and other commercial vehicles

• Maintaining workshop inventory and cleanliness – oil spills and dust kept in check
• Working with repair teams to diagnose and plan vehicle repairs
• Maintaining accurate records of all vehicles repaired or handled
• Completing relevant documentation and paperwork – including warranty claims where needed

What You’ll Need

• Level 3 qualification (NVQ, City & Guilds, or IMI) in HGV Vehicle Repair and Maintenance (essential)
• Proven experience as an HGV Technician – ability to identify worn and faulty components in line with DVSA standards
• Current, full UK driving licence for relevant vehicle classes
• IRTEC accreditation (desirable but not essential)
• You’ll be a great fit if you’re methodical, take pride in your work, and want a stable night role with a nationally recognised, high-retention employer that invests in its people.

Think you might be a good fit?
If you’re qualified and experienced, there’s manufacturer training, a clear night shift pattern with a proper allowance, and a team that’s been around for years because it’s a decent place to work.
