About the Role
Are you a skilled technician with a passion for vehicle maintenance and a commitment to high standards? We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented HGV Technician to join Veolia. In this hands-on role, you will maintain and repair refuse collection vehicles to the highest standards, ensuring safety, compliance, and customer satisfaction. No two days are the same as you work with multiple types of vehicles within our fleet.

Key responsibilities include diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs on chassis and mounted equipment, servicing vehicles to VOSA standards, preparing them for MOT inspections, completing body and chassis repairs, and ensuring compliance with Department of Transport specifications. You will maintain accurate records, complete necessary paperwork and timesheets, and diagnose and repair hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic vehicle systems. You will also complete roadside repairs when necessary (training provided) and undertake ongoing training to enhance your technical skills and knowledge.

Veolia offers 25 days of annual leave, access to a company pension scheme, discounts on groceries and well-known retailers, and a range of resources to support your physical, mental, and financial health. You will also receive one paid day per year to volunteer and support your community, ongoing training and development opportunities, and access to Stream – employee financial wellbeing support including early access to earned pay, savings, budgeting, financial coaching, and rewards.

Join us and help make a difference for generations to come. Veolia has been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work for three consecutive years (2023, 2024, and 2025), reflecting our commitment to our people and creating a rewarding, purposeful career.
