HGV Night Shift Technician

Hours: 44 hours per week
Shift Pattern: Tuesday - Friday, 7:30pm - 7:00am

The Role

We are currently recruiting for an experienced HGV Night Shift Technician to join a well-established commercial vehicle workshop.

You will be responsible for servicing, maintaining, diagnosing and repairing a range of commercial vehicles to a high standard. The role requires a confident and experienced technician who can work independently, accurately diagnose faults and complete repairs safely and efficiently.

This is an excellent opportunity for an HGV Technician looking for a permanent night-shift position within a modern workshop environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Diagnose mechanical, electrical and electronic faults on commercial vehicles.
  • Carry out servicing, maintenance and repairs to manufacturer standards.
  • Use modern diagnostic equipment to identify and rectify vehicle faults.
  • Complete scheduled safety inspections and identify any additional repairs required.
  • Repair and replace faulty components and vehicle parts.
  • Work on mechanical, electrical and vehicle subsystem faults.
  • Follow the repair process from initial fault diagnosis through to completion.
  • Complete job cards and workshop documentation accurately.
  • Ensure all work is carried out safely, efficiently and within agreed timescales.
  • Support other Technicians within the workshop where required.
  • Carry out inspections and preventative maintenance.
  • Maintain high standards of workmanship and vehicle safety.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
