Day Shifts | Up to £48,750+ Door‑to‑Door Pay | Fully Equipped Van | Training & Progression
Are you an experienced HGV Technician who enjoys being out on the road, solving problems, and working with a wide variety of specialist vehicles? This mobile role gives you independence, variety, stability and proper recognition for your skills — with every hour paid door to door.
You’ll support a dedicated network of customer sites across the Oxfordshire region, keeping essential municipal and commercial vehicles moving. If you want a role where no two days are the same, your technical ability is valued, and you’re trusted to get the job done right, this is the one.

Fully equipped service van — everything you need to do the job well
Independence — you control your day and your workload
Modern municipal fleet — refuse trucks, gritters, sweepers, tankers, flatbeds, cherry pickers
Strong job security — municipal fleets don’t disappear
Future‑proof training — electric & hydrogen vehicle training provided
Your Day-to-Day
Callouts and emergency breakdowns
Preventative maintenance and scheduled servicing at rural sites
MOT preparation and inspections
Engine work and diagnostic investigations
Correction of running defects
Chassis and fabrication work
Hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical fault finding
Improving vehicle standards and reliability across the fleet
You’ll travel within a designated area and operate from a fully stocked, fully equipped service van, giving you everything you need to deliver high‑quality work on the road.
What We’re Looking For
Fully qualified Commercial Vehicle Technician or recognised apprenticeship
Strong diagnostics and fault‑finding ability
Excellent understanding of modern vehicle technology
Able to follow the repair process from fault analysis to completion
Reliable, punctual and professional
Enthusiastic, proactive and solutions‑focused
Health & safety conscious with a can‑do mindset
Class 2 licence beneficial but not essential
What You’ll Receive
Up to 48,750 basic
Door‑to‑door pay
Fully equipped company van
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Pension scheme
Private healthcare
Ongoing technical training including EV & hydrogen systems
If this role isn’t quite right but you’re considering a move, we’d still like to hear from you.
