Job Title
Up to £45,000 + overtime + paid door to door + discretionary monthly bonus + on-call pay + company van and fuel card
Your van. Your patch. Fixed first time.
Keep the utility vehicles around Maidstone safe, legal and working, from the van itself to the power take-offs and body-fitted equipment that do the job on site. You will work from a fully stocked van with the vehicle's history in your hand before you arrive. 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, from vans stocked for the job, and our engineers fix first time on more than 90% of jobs, with an eight bay workshop and a planning team behind them.
What you'll do
- Service, inspect and repair utility vans and light commercial vehicles on customer sites
- Service and repair PTO systems and body-fitted equipment
- Carry out LOLER thorough examinations and inspections on tail lifts
- Diagnose mechanical, electrical and hydraulic faults and fix them first time wherever you can
- Carry out vehicle safety and compliance checks, and record every job so each vehicle stays compliant
