You’ll be based out of their Service Centre in Chatham and will be required to do occasional  travel in the UK and Overseas if required

What you’ll need;

  • You will have a Level 3 qualification in Vehicle Maintenance either HGV or Light Vehicle and experience working on plant, MHE, powered access, HGV’s, Vehicles or related equipment experience. However, a full training programme will be provided.

  • You’ll have a good understanding of hydraulic, mechanical and electrical principals
  • You’ll be able to work under pressure and manage and prioritise your workload

 

This is an excellent opportunity which offers base salary of £35,793 (subject to annual increases) plus an additional £3k bonus for maintaining Sponsored Reserve status which takes it to £38,793.  Overtime is also paid at 1.5 Monday to Friday and x2 at weekends.   You will also receive pay enhancements when deployed on MOD assignments.    Excellent benefits to include; great work/life balance, contributory pension scheme, Healthcare scheme, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, product training and long term opportunities for growth and development.
