Mobile LCV Technician

Job Description:

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.
