Summary
Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) is passionate about providing high-quality services to our communities, residents and businesses. This means we must employ and retain the most talented and dedicated people.
Situated within the heart of the Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, Huntingdonshire is a beautiful district that boasts thriving market towns and many attractive villages, each with its own identity. We are an innovative and forward-thinking local authority whose residents are at the heart of our decision-making.
At HDC we want to employ staff who embody our icare values (Inspiring, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Enterprising), all of which support our ultimate purpose of putting our customers first.
Job details
Here at HDC we are passionate about the front-line services we deliver, and the Technician is a crucial role in that delivery. We are currently offering an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to work in our Workshop department. We are passionate about what we do and constantly strive to deliver the best service possible for our residents and we want you to be part of that too.
About the role
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Technician to join our Operations team. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for performing maintenance and repairs on vehicles, plant and equipment to ensure they meet the Department for Transport's MOT Test standards.
Your expertise will contribute directly to the efficiency of our operations, enabling us to provide essential services to the community. You will work closely with our Workshop Manager, utilising your technical skills to inspect, diagnose, and repair various equipment while adhering to safety standards and regulations. Your commitment to excellence will ensure that all work is completed to the highest quality.
The role works 37 hours per week (Monday to Friday). Operating hours are from 6am to 5pm.
About you
You are a dedicated professional with substantial experience in commercial vehicle repair and a strong understanding of vehicle maintenance, welding and fabrication. You hold a valid UK driving licence (Cat C) and are proficient in using fleet management and diagnostic equipment.
With a collaborative spirit and the ability to work independently, you thrive in a dynamic environment where you can make a tangible impact. Your adaptability and commitment to delivering value for money will make you an asset to our team.
If you are ready to take on this exciting challenge and contribute to the success of our district council, we invite you to apply and be part of a team that values public service and excellence.
An offer of employment is conditional upon having the right to work in the UK. Huntingdonshire District Council does not hold a Sponsorship Licence and is unable to provide a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) or take over sponsorship for any role.
Apply
To apply for this position, please complete the application form.
The closing date is 9am on Monday 29 September 2025 and interviews will be held shortly after.
However, this is a rolling campaign and we'll be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and will close the advert early should we receive suitable applications, so please don't delay in applying!
For many of our roles (and where it is possible) we are currently working remotely and anticipate in the future returning to a hybrid office model on a flexible basis. This will still include work from home and flexi-time opportunities in order to provide a good work life balance whilst still ensuring that teams benefit from in person interaction. Candidates should therefore be within commutable distance of our offices in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire or able to attend meetings as required if further afield.
Should you have any additional questions regarding submitting an application, please contact the Recruitment Team at recruitment@huntingdonshire.gov.uk.
