About Us
We're TIP Group - we've kept trailers, tankers, and fleets moving safely since 1968, and we're a certified Great Place to Work®. Our Knottingley workshop team is growing, and we're looking for a skilled HGV Trailer Mechanic / Trailer Technician to join us. We invest in our people, back our technicians with proper tools and training, and genuinely care about the team we build. It's how we roll.
The Role
You'll be carrying out inspections, diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs on HGV trailers, keeping our customers' fleets road-ready and safe. We work as a close-knit team, hands-on, supportive, and quick to back each other up when something needs fixing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

What you'll be doing:
- Routine inspections, servicing, and PMI checks on HGV trailers
- Diagnosing and repairing faults across braking, suspension, electrical, and bodywork systems
- Keeping maintenance and repair work to DVSA/VOSA compliance standards
- Recording work accurately so the fleet's history stays on top of things

- IRTEC certification desirable (or working towards)
