Mobile LCV Technician / Vehicle Technician
Location: Derby
Salary: Dependent on qualifications & experience
Sign-on Bonus: £1,500
Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:30am–4:00pm
(Flexible working as long as 42 hours are completed – no weekends or bank holidays)

We’re looking for a skilled vehicle technician to join our client in Derby as a Mobile LCV Technician. This is an excellent opportunity for a vehicle technician who enjoys independence, variety, and the chance to develop their career with full HGV training and a clear route to Master Technician level.

Why This Role Stands Out

- £1,500 sign-on bonus
- Fully equipped mobile service vehicle
- LCV-focused role with optional HGV training
- Progression pathway to Master Technician
- No weekends or bank holidays
- Flexible working hours
- Excellent benefits: private medical, life assurance, pension, discounts, cycle-to-work, 33 days holiday (increasing with service)

Key Responsibilities

- Diagnose, repair, and maintain Light Commercial Vehicles
- Carry out mechanical and electrical work including engines, transmissions, brakes, suspension, and diagnostics
- Complete routine servicing, inspections, and preventative maintenance
- Use diagnostic equipment to resolve complex faults
- Maintain accurate job cards and service documentation
- Communicate professionally with customers
- Ensure a safe and tidy working environment
- Stay up to date with modern vehicle technology and repair methods

Requirements

- Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair
- Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills
- Full UK driving licence
- Confident working independently in a mobile role

Additional Training & Benefits

- HGV training (Class 1 & 2)
- Structured development to Master Technician
- Enhanced holiday entitlement
- Health cash plan
- Discounts on vehicles, MOTs, parts, and servicing

If you’re an experienced LCV Technician or vehicle technician looking for a mobile role with genuine progression, excellent benefits, and a £1,500 sign-on bonus, this is the ideal next step. As a forward-thinking vehicle technician, you’ll have the freedom to work independently while still being supported by a leading organisation.
All applications are handled with complete confidentiality.
