Job Description

Mobile Vehicle Engineer – Oxfordshire

Day Shifts | Up to £48,750+ Door-to-Door Pay | Fully Equipped Van | Training & Progression

Are you an experienced HGV Technician who enjoys being out on the road, solving problems, and working with a wide variety of specialist vehicles? This mobile role gives you independence, variety, stability and proper recognition for your skills — with every hour paid door to door.

You'll support a dedicated network of customer sites across the Oxfordshire region, keeping essential municipal and commercial vehicles moving. If you want a role where no two days are the same, your technical ability is valued, and you're trusted to get the job done right, this is the one.

? What Makes This Role Stand Out

  • Door-to-door pay — you're paid properly for your time

  • Fully equipped service van — everything you need to do the job well

  • Independence — you control your day and your workload

  • Modern municipal fleet — refuse trucks, gritters, sweepers, tankers, flatbeds, cherry pickers

  • Strong job security — municipal fleets don't disappear

  • Future-proof training — electric & hydrogen vehicle training provided

Your Day-to-Day

  • Callouts and emergency breakdowns

  • Preventative maintenance and scheduled servicing at rural sites

  • MOT preparation and inspections

  • Engine work and diagnostic investigations

  • Correction of running defects

  • Chassis and fabrication work

  • Hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical fault finding

  • Improving vehicle standards and reliability across the fleet

You'll travel within a designated area and operate from a fully stocked, fully equipped service van, giving you everything you need to deliver high-quality work on the road.

What We're Looking For

  • Fully qualified Commercial Vehicle Technician or recognised apprenticeship

  • Strong diagnostics and fault-finding ability

  • Excellent understanding of modern vehicle technology

  • Able to follow the repair process from fault analysis to completion

  • Reliable, punctual and professional

  • Enthusiastic, proactive and solutions-focused

  • Health & safety conscious with a can-do mindset

  • Class 2 licence beneficial but not essential

What You'll Receive

  • Up to 48,750 basic

  • Door-to-door pay

  • Fully equipped company van

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

  • Pension scheme

  • Private healthcare

  • Ongoing technical training including EV & hydrogen systems

If this role isn't quite right but you're considering a move, we'd still like to hear from you.
