Yellow Machine Mechanic (Earthmoving Plant) – Fixed-Term

You'll service and repair heavy diesel vehicles for the agricultural equipment dealer in Brits. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Brits-based, with most of your time spent at an agricultural equipment dealer. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Service trucks and trailers on the planned maintenance schedule
• Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage
• Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
• Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
• Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
• Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts
• Repair gearboxes, differentials and clutches on heavy vehicles

• At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
• Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
• Solid understanding of air brake systems
• Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks

• Auto electrical skills
• Brand-specific heavy vehicle courses
• Hydraulic systems training

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

• Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
• List the truck and engine types you have worked on, including electronic systems. Fleet managers screen for those.
