What will I be doing?
• Perform thorough equipment and vehicle checks to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently!
• Take pride in maintaining and repairing our fleet to the highest standards, ensuring it’s always in top shape.
• Help serve customers efficiently, safely and to the company policies and procedures.
• Keep all fleet records up to date and accurate, so we’re always ready for action!
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized Workshop that promotes safety and productivity.
• Deliver and collect equipment with enthusiasm, ensuring our customers receive exceptional service every time!
Hours: Monday – Friday 7.30am – 5pm and alternate Saturday mornings 8am-12pm
What’s in it for you:
We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:
24 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays (32 days per year)
Company bonus scheme, based on performance
Contributory pension and life assurance
Discounts on high street retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, gyms and cinemas
Colleague discount across our group brands
Attraction and travel discounts
Training and development programmes to support your growth - we offer on-the-job training and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications, including apprenticeships.
What do I need?
We’re focussed on getting the basics right because we know how much value this adds to our business and we’re full of energy and enthusiasm for what we do. They’re our magic ingredients, and they’re what we look for in our people.
However, you will need to be comfortable with driving our class 2 vehicles (a class 2 licence is required) as well as loading and unloading our Plant & Tool Hire equipment.
