The size and diversity of our fleet means you'll have the opportunity to develop and expand your mechanical skills — help repair and maintain light vans, tractor and trailer units and our growing alternative fuel fleet.

- A company pension scheme, holiday pay, life assurance, discounts at major retailers (including Apple and cinemas) and attractions (including Alton Towers and The London Eye), plus many more benefits
- Industry-leading training, including electric vehicle training, HGV licence upgrade programme and workshop manager qualification
- Opportunities to progress with our 'promotion from within' policy
- General tool allowance of £30 per month gross
- Avail of our referral scheme and earn £1000 when you recommend other mechanics to UPS and they remain with us for six months
