Your van. Your patch. Paid from your front door.
Keep a utility van fleet around Cardiff safe, legal and on the road. You will work from a fully stocked van with the vehicle's history in your hand before you arrive, and you are paid from the moment you leave home. Plantexpand keeps the plant and vehicles behind the UK's water, power, gas and telecoms networks working. Around 95% of our work is done on site, and our engineers fix first time on more than 90% of jobs, with an eight bay workshop and a planning team behind them. Starts 1 December 2026.
What you'll do
- Service, inspect and repair vans and light commercial vehicles on customer sites
- Diagnose mechanical and electrical faults with modern diagnostic equipment and fix them first time wherever you can
- Carry out vehicle safety and compliance checks, and record every job so each van stays compliant
