HGV Mechanic

Fire and Rescue Headquarters, Birkenshaw

£36,648 to £39,186 per annum plus Standby payments (pay award pending)

37 Hour Working Week

A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join our Transport team to maintain our fire appliances and specialist vehicles to ensure our firefighters operate safely and effectively at incidents to save lives. In doing so you will be directly contributing to making your community and West Yorkshire Safer.

You will work in a modern, clean, safe workshop environment with great motorway links and have access to the latest equipment to maintain our fleet. We invest in our staff and provide both bespoke in-house and external training including LGV driver training, specialist manufacturer courses such as Volvo and Scania, aerial appliance repair, welding, fabrication and Webber rescue equipment. In addition, we provide personal development through accredited bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).

Based at our Headquarters, you will have the opportunity to work out in the field to provide logistical support at major fire incidents. In addition, you will be able to attend any of our 40 Fire Stations across West Yorkshire to carry out the inspection, repair and maintenance of the Fire & Rescue’s fleet of vehicles and associated operational equipment.

We offer an excellent package including generous holiday entitlement, family friendly working, local government pension scheme, free parking, Sports and Social Club with free use of gym, with all clothing and personal protective equipment and tools provided.

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.

Candidates must have considerable experience in the repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and possess a recognised apprenticeship in vehicle maintenance with City and Guilds Parts 1, 2 and 3 Craft studies (or Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship or equivalent level relevant qualification) and a full UK car manual driving licence.

You may also be required to participate in the section’s standby rota, which currently equates to £2.87 for each hour you are on call and enhanced over-time for any callouts attended.

Joining a first-rate organisation, you will have the job satisfaction of knowing each day that you are contributing to the success of your fire and rescue service, supporting over 950 firefighters who work round the clock to help people and save lives.

If you can meet this challenge, we want to hear from you!
