Summary
Trailer Fitter / Trailer Technician
Location: Newark
Salary: Up to £22 per hour
I’m currently recruiting on behalf of a highly respected Specialist Trailer Services depot based on the outskirts of Newark. This business focuses exclusively on trailer systems — not vehicle engines — and has built a strong reputation within the heavy-haulage and abnormal-load sector.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on technician who takes pride in doing the job properly. Whether you’re already experienced with trailers or you’re a skilled mechanic looking to move into a specialist area of the industry, this employer offers the environment and training to help you develop into a true heavy-haulage specialist.
Key Responsibilities
• Working on standard trailer running gear as well as specialist heavy-haulage equipment including Nooteboom, Goldhofer, Faymonville, and Doll trailers
• Carrying out full servicing, brake testing, and MOT preparation
• Stripping trailers back to chassis level to diagnose and repair faults
• Working on braking systems, suspension systems, and hydraulics
• Collaborating with the stores team to source specialist parts
• Occasionally attending trailer-related breakdowns to support customers on-site
What we are looking for
• Proven experience working on HGV trailers or heavy commercial plant
• A “can-do” attitude and genuine willingness to develop specialist skills
• A reliable, careful, and methodical approach to work
• Strong teamwork skills and a professional workshop mindset
Candidates with general mechanical backgrounds who want to specialise are strongly encouraged to apply.
What’s on Offer
• Up to £22 per hour (depending on experience)
• Flexible working patterns with start times from 7am
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays
• Additional holidays and enhanced sick pay with service
• 24-hour life insurance at 2.5x annual salary
• Company pension scheme
• Dedicated in-house training and ongoing development
• Modern workshop facilities and consistent investment in equipment
If you’re looking to build a long-term career within specialist trailer engineering — rather than just another workshop job — I’d be very interested in speaking with you.
