Automotive Mechanic at UPS

Job Description:

Join us as a mechanic and help us deliver what matters by keeping our vehicles on the roads. The size and diversity of our fleet means you'll have the opportunity to develop and expand your mechanical skills — help repair and maintain light vans, tractor and trailer units and our growing alternative fuel fleet.

• Industry-leading training, including electric vehicle training, HGV licence upgrade programme and workshop manager qualification
• Opportunities to progress with our 'promotion from within' policy
• General tool allowance of £30 per month gross
• Avail of our referral scheme and earn £1000 when you recommend other mechanics to UPS and they remain with us for six months

What you'll do:

• Work flexible shift patterns: you must be able to work Monday to Friday either from 6:00am to 2:30pm; or 12:00pm to 8:30pm. The team will provide flexibility.
• Keep our iconic vehicles on the road by expertly handling a variety of repairs and maintenance on our large fleet
• Carry out regular maintenance inspections, complete online records and control stock
• Work with your fellow mechanics to achieve maintenance targets quickly, safely and reliably
