We are currently recruiting for an experienced HGV Technician to join an established commercial vehicle dealership in Crayford, Kent.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified technician to join a manufacturer-backed workshop, working on a wide range of modern heavy commercial vehicles in a professional and well-equipped environment.

The Crayford operation has a dedicated commercial vehicle workshop with multiple full-length bays, alongside specialist testing and maintenance facilities.

  • Use manufacturer diagnostic equipment to identify complex vehicle faults.
  • Carry out repairs to engines, transmissions, braking, suspension, steering and drivetrain systems.
  • Complete preventative maintenance and safety inspections.
  • Carry out electrical fault-finding and repairs, including modern vehicle electrical systems.
  • Ensure all work is completed to manufacturer standards and within required timescales.
  • Complete accurate job cards, inspection sheets and associated paperwork.
  • Identify additional repair requirements and communicate these effectively to the Workshop Controller.
  • Maintain a safe, clean and organised working environment.
  • Work as part of a professional workshop team to achieve high levels of first-time-fix and customer satisfaction.

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.
