Like getting to the bottom of a tricky fault? Enjoy hands-on work where no two jobs are necessarily the same? We’d like to hear from you.

We’re looking for an experienced HGV Technician to join Dennis Eagle at our Bexley operation, working on specialist refuse collection vehicles.

You’ll carry out servicing, maintenance, diagnostics and repairs, helping to keep essential commercial vehicles operating safely and reliably. The role is 45 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

🔧 What you’ll be doing

• Diagnosing mechanical, electrical and hydraulic faults
• Servicing, repairing and maintaining HGVs and specialist vehicles
• Preparing vehicles for MOT and completing quality checks
• Carrying out body and chassis repairs where required
• Using wiring diagrams and diagnostic information to identify faults
• Completing records accurately
• Working safely while delivering a high standard of customer service

🛠️ What we’re looking for

You’ll need:

• Commercial vehicle servicing and repair experience
• A Level 3 qualification in Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance, such as NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent
• Diagnostic and fault-finding experience
• An understanding of electronics and hydraulics
• The ability to understand wiring diagrams
• A practical approach to problem solving

Experience with refuse collection vehicles and electric vehicles would be welcome, but isn’t essential. An HGV Class 2 licence and training such as IRTEC, Volvo Tech Tool or Allison transmission are desirable.
