Job Description

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This agricultural equipment dealer in Worcester needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at an agricultural equipment dealer in Worcester. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
  • Service trucks and trailers on the planned maintenance schedule
  • Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts
  • Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing

Must-haves

  • Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
  • Solid understanding of air brake systems
  • At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant

What's in it for you

  • Heavy-duty tools supplied by the workshop
  • Standby and call-out allowance
  • Overtime available most weeks

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): diesel mechanic trade certificate, Code 14 licence and PrDP plus ID copy with a recent certification stamp.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
