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 Willenhall 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
As an HGV Trailer Mechanic you’ll inspect, service, maintain and repair a range of HGV trailers. This will include carrying out routine maintenance and safety inspections, diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults, completing repairs and replacing or adjusting components as required. You’ll also record work completed and ensure trailers are returned to a safe and roadworthy condition.
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.
