In this role, you’ll carry out maintenance and diagnostic work on a range of vehicles, ensuring the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance.

Free on-site parking.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Carry out routine maintenance and repairs in line with Lothian and DVSA standards.
Diagnose and rectify a range of vehicle faults.
Attend vehicle breakdowns when required.
Liaise with the parts department to source components.
Follow all health and safety procedures and safe working practices.
Maintain a high standard of cleanliness and organisation.
Complete all paperwork and inspection sheets accurately and on time.
Keep up to date with product knowledge and attend training as required.

Shift Pattern:

4 days over 7.
Includes evenings and weekends.

What We’re Looking For:

Full UK driving licence.
Qualified, time-served motor vehicle Mechanic.
A PCV licence is desirable (or willingness to obtain one while in post).
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Flexible approach to working hours when required.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work under pressure.
Experience in the bus or truck industry is advantageous.

Suitable for candidates with backgrounds as a Car Mechanic, Vehicle Technician, PSV Mechanic, HGV Mechanic, Bus Mechanic, Truck Mechanic, Diesel Mechanic, Fleet Mechanic, or Plant Mechanic, including those looking to move from car servicing into commercial vehicles.
