Summary
Driver Vehicle & Standards Agency
You have just contributed to ensuring that Britain’s roads are one of the safest in Europe. How did you do that?
You are at a roadside check, alongside other agencies, inspecting vehicles to make sure they are safe to drive.
You find a defect on a vehicle, the driver is in a rush and you have to make a decision whether to allow the driver to carry on driving it, or to take enforcement action.
You are a DVSA Commercial Vehicle Examiner. What would you do?
Job description
We are looking for self-motivated individual to join our professional enforcement team as a Commercial Vehicle Examiner. Vehicle Examiners contribute to the integrity of road safety and standards to keep Britain moving safely and sustainably.
What did you do this week?
I carried out roadside checks and prohibited dangerous vehicles from continuing with their
journeys. I wrote reports on my findings. I presented evidence at a Public Inquiry/Court. I attended a team meeting and collaborated with my colleagues. I made a difference to the safety of our roads.
A typical Commercial Vehicle Examiner will also:
Analyse data, looking for discrepancies and trends.
Answer technical queries from customers, offering advice, guidance and education as required.
Keep their technical knowledge up to date and manage their personal development.
Be an effective teammate and contribute to team events and meetings.
Champion DVSA and road safety.
To view the role responsibilities in more detail, please see the attached Role Profile.
Person specification
You will have experience in the repair, maintenance or inspection of at least one type of vehicle, if not multiple, along with the relevant qualifications.
This is a hands-on technical role where an eye for detail to spot defects and problems is highly
important. The Vehicle Examiner role can be physically demanding, which could include working in
inspection pits and getting in and out of vehicles. This is an excellent opportunity to access a new
career path. Don’t worry, we won’t expect you to be an expert in the role straight away. Rest
assured; we will provide you with all the training you need.
Closing date: 29 June 2025.
