The Role

As a commercial vehicle Technician for Rygor, your role will be to keep customers’ vehicles on the road, via quality, safe and compliant maintenance.

You will need to be a level 3 qualified HGV technician. Or, if you are level 2 HGV qualified: they will put you through the IRTEC Inspection Accreditation in your first couple of weeks with the business!

An IRTEC Accreditation certifies the skills and safety of technicians working in road transport, indicating an ability of the highest calibre.

Being part of Team Rygor is about being experts in what they do. They are committed to investing in your career and skill set, so when you join their technical team, you will benefit from Mercedes-Benz training and online H&S e learnings.

Day to day, you will be:

• Performing major and minor repairs to heavy goods vehicles, trailers, and other vehicles.
• Performing regular inspection and general preventive maintenance services such as tyre rotation and oil changes.
• Maintaining inventory in the workshop and cleanliness from oil spills and dust.
• Working with repair teams to help diagnose and plan repairs for the vehicles.
• Maintaining records of vehicles that have been repaired or handled.
• Providing repair services to clients on the road in case of emergencies.
• Completing relevant documentation and paperwork as required and providing warranty claims or escalating them to higher management.
• Providing in-house training to recruits and trainees.

This role will be a great fit for you if:

• Industry qualifications achieved to a minimum of Level 2 OR 3 Vehicle Maintenance and Repair or mechanical engineering (all modules completed) – Heavy Vehicle Qualification.
• Previous working experience as a HGV technician with a strong technical background, as well as a keen interest in vans.
• Some retail counter and phone experience advantageous.
• You are computer literate and confident using technology.

Research shows that some people are less likely to apply for a role unless they are 100% qualified. If you are industry level qualified for the role (NVQ Level 2 or 3 HGV), we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t feel like you meet all our requirements. We want to know about your passions, achievements, learning and growth. If this role excites you, start a conversation with us!
