We're working with a well established business in the commercial vehicle sector that is looking to bring in a technically minded graduate or equivalent with the intention of developing them into a future manager.
This isn't a formal graduate scheme, but a hands on opportunity to learn the business from the ground up. You'll spend time across different areas of the operation to understand how everything fits together-particularly within the workshop, service, and parts departments.
The long term goal is for this person to step into a supervisory/management role within the workshop and service side of the business.

- Spending time with different teams to understand processes across the business
- Supporting with parts, stock, and general operational tasks
- Gaining an understanding of how a busy commercial vehicle operation runs
- Building toward overseeing workflow, technicians, and service delivery
- £31,200 starting salary
- Clear salary progression as you develop
- Real opportunity to move into a management role
- Long term career stability in a specialist sector
- Hands on experience across multiple areas of the business
- Experienced 10+ year management team
- A technically minded graduate or equivalent
- Interest in vehicles, mechanics, or hands on environments (HGV interest ideal)
- Someone willing to learn from the ground up rather than step straight into an office role
- Practical, reliable, and looking for a long term career path
- Comfortable in a workshop/operational environment
