Enjoy diagnosing faults, solving mechanical problems and getting vehicles safely back on the road? This could be a great next move.

We're looking for an experienced HGV Technician to join Dennis Eagle in Manchester, working on specialist refuse collection and commercial vehicles.

Whether you know the role as an HGV Technician, HGV Mechanic, Commercial Vehicle Technician or Heavy Vehicle Technician, what matters to us is your experience maintaining and repairing commercial vehicles and your ability to find and fix faults effectively.

You'll work across vehicle servicing, maintenance, diagnostics and repairs, including chassis and mounted equipment, while helping to ensure vehicles are safe, reliable and ready to do their job.

🔧 What you'll be doing

Carrying out HGV and commercial vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs
Diagnosing faults across chassis and mounted equipment
Using your mechanical, electrical and hydraulic fault-finding skills
Preparing commercial vehicles for MOT inspection
Carrying out quality checks and necessary body and chassis repairs
Completing scheduled vehicle maintenance
Recording work accurately using workshop systems
Road testing vehicles where required and appropriately licensed
Working at our workshop and, when needed, customer premises
Keeping safety, quality and customer service at the heart of your work

🛠️ What we're looking for

You'll need:

Experience in commercial vehicle repair and servicing
Previous experience in a similar HGV, heavy vehicle or commercial vehicle role
A Level 3 qualification in Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance, such as NVQ, City & Guilds or equivalent
Diagnostic and fault-finding skills
An understanding of vehicle electronics and hydraulics
The ability to read and understand wiring diagrams
Good problem-solving and communication skills
A practical approach to working safely and delivering quality repairs

Experience maintaining refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) or working with electric commercial vehicles would be useful, but isn't essential.

An HGV Class 2 licence, IRTEC accreditation or experience with Volvo Tech Tool or Allison transmission would also be beneficial rather than essential.

You don't need to tick every desirable box. If you have a solid commercial vehicle background and the core technical skills we're looking for, we'd still encourage you to apply.
