Description:
Mobile HGV Technician
Up to £54k+ Overtime + Van + Benefits Permanent | Days | Mobile Role
East and West Sussex
Are you an experienced HGV Technician or Mobile Engineer who enjoys working independently, solving problems on the road, and keeping essential municipal vehicles moving? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected organisation maintaining a modern fleet of refuse trucks, sweepers, gully vehicles, hook‑loaders, gritters and specialist municipal equipment.
We’re looking for a confident, capable technician with strong diagnostics skills and a solid background in commercial vehicles or heavy plant.
The Role
Mobile servicing, repairs and diagnostics on municipal HGVs and specialist fleet vehicles
Attending breakdowns, roadside faults and on‑site repairs
Carrying out routine maintenance, inspections and MOT prep
Hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical fault finding
Ensuring all work meets DVSA and manufacturer standards
Providing excellent customer service to depot teams and fleet managers
Chassis and fabrication work
Hydraulics and pneumatics
Improvement of vehicle standards
Electrical and wiring inspections and corrections
What We’re Looking For
Experience as an HGV Technician, Commercial Vehicle Technician, Mobile HGV Engineer, Plant Fitter, or Field Service Engineer
Strong diagnostics and fault‑finding ability
Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics and municipal equipment
Full UK driving licence (HGV Class 1/2 beneficial but not essential)
LOLER, tail‑lift or refuse‑vehicle experience is a bonus
Ex‑forces (REME / military vehicle techs) strongly encouraged to apply
What You’ll Receive
Competitive salary + overtime
Company van + fuel card
Tools, training and ongoing development
Stable, long‑term role within a growing municipal fleet operation
Supportive team, modern equipment and varied daily work
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t a repetitive workshop job — it’s a mobile role where you’ll use your technical ability, independence and problem‑solving skills every day. You’ll be working on essential municipal vehicles that keep communities running, with strong job security and excellent long‑term prospects.
