Do you have experience in the inspection, repair and maintenance of HGV’s? Are you wanting to make a positive difference to the communities of North Yorkshire?

We’re looking for a dedicated HGV Mechanic to join the Fleet Services department working on and maintaining our Fire Appliances and the specialised equipment associated with the fleet across North Yorkshire and the City of York.

Our fleet is made up of approximately 200 vehicles and includes HGV makes such as Volvo, MAN, Iveco and Mercedes. You’ll work in a modern clean workshop environment and have access to the latest equipment to maintain our fleet.

We want to support and develop you in your role and we believe in unlocking everyone’s potential. This is your chance to join a team who are welcoming, dedicated, and keen to deliver.

What’s it like working in the team?

Joining a fast-moving organisation, you will have the job satisfaction of knowing each day that you are contributing to the success of one of the first fire and rescue services in the UK to be in collaboration with North Yorkshire Police, supporting firefighters and police officers who work round the clock to protect local communities and save lives.

No two days are the same, one minute you could be carrying pre-planned maintenance on a frontline fire engine and the next you could be supporting operational crews on the fire ground.

We are a caring organisation, promote an environment of inclusivity and learning and welcome people from all walks of life - just as long as you can show commitment to our values such as integrity and teamwork.
