Your primary responsibility will be to repair, monitor, and maintain vehicles and trailers, ensuring they remain in optimal condition and ready for use.

  • Resolve all health and safety-related defects prior to the next asset deployment.

  • Manage inventory, including stock-taking, ordering core consumables, and maintaining tools and equipment.

  • Collaborate with external vendors and service providers for specialised repairs.

  • Oversee generator stock, ensuring regular upkeep and maintenance.

  • Coordinate maintenance schedules with the Managed Contracts Manager to prepare units for upcoming events, including work outside normal hours as required.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Proven experience in general maintenance or a related fleet maintenance role.

  • Strong knowledge of trailer systems (training can be provided if necessary).

  • Understanding of basic electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical components.

  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals and diagrams.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail.

  • Effective communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

  • Valid driver's license with a clean record (Class 2 preferred but not essential).

  • Welding and fabrication skills are advantageous but not essential.

Working Hours & Benefits:

  • Schedule: Tuesday AM - Saturday 1 PM (45 hours per week, including a 30-minute break).

  • Tools and Equipment: All provided by the company.

  • Holidays: 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays.

  • Profit Share: Quarterly profit share scheme.

  • Health Benefits: Specsavers vouchers.
