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.

· A competitive basic salary of £37,315 plus a shift premium (£4.49 per hour between 8pm-6am) and overtime at time and a half.

· A company pension scheme, holiday pay, life assurance, discounts at major retailers (including Apple and cinemas) and attractions (including Alton Towers and The London Eye), plus many more benefits

· Industry-leading training, including electric vehicle training, HGC 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

Your Tasks

· Work alternative shift patterns of 07:00 am to 15:30 and 15:00 to 23:30 (Monday to Friday)

· 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

Your Skills

· Initiative, planning skills and a flexible, enthusiastic approach

· Full UK driving licence

· City & Guilds or equivalent qualification in vehicle mechanics
