HGV Technician – Manchester – £38,000 to £40,000 + Overtime Opportunities

We’re partnering with a well-established business in the commercial waste and recycling industry to find an experienced HGV Technician to join their Manchester-based team. If you're looking for a hands-on role with a company that plays a vital role in keeping the city moving (and clean!), this could be the perfect next step in your career.

This is a great opportunity to work with a modern fleet, tackle real-world mechanical challenges, and be part of a fast-paced operation where your skills make a visible difference every day.

The Role:

  • Carry out servicing, inspections, and repairs on a fleet of heavy goods vehicles
  • Respond to breakdowns when required, using your initiative to resolve issues quickly and safely
  • Prepare and present vehicles for annual MOT and compliance testing
  • Take full ownership of your workload to maximise fleet uptime and efficiency
  • Perform advanced diagnostics on vehicle systems, including engines, transmissions, and electrics
  • Keep detailed maintenance and service records up to date
  • Work in line with health and safety guidelines at all times

What You’ll Be Working On:

  • Full mechanical servicing and repair of HGVs
  • Electrical fault-finding and system diagnostics
  • Engine/transmission rebuilds and repairs
  • Occasional welding and bodywork maintenance
  • Supporting and training apprentices and less experienced team members
  • Using diagnostic tools and workshop equipment effectively
  • Shift work and occasional overtime, depending on operational demand

What We’re Looking For:

  • Qualified HGV Technician (NVQ Level 3 or equivalent)
  • Minimum 3 years’ post-apprenticeship experience in HGV servicing and repairs
  • Strong technical knowledge with proven diagnostic capabilities
  • Organised, self-motivated, and able to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Solid communication skills and ability to follow instructions (written, verbal, diagrams)
  • Familiarity with waste collection vehicles is a plus, but not essential

Location: Manchester
Salary: £38,000 – £40,000 per year
Shifts: Flexible shifts with overtime available

Why This Role?

You’ll be joining a company that plays a key role in the commercial waste sector—helping keep cities clean, sustainable, and efficient. You’ll work with a well-maintained fleet, have access to the latest tools and tech, and be part of a supportive team that takes pride in their work.
