Job Description

HGV Technician - Southampton

50,000 Basic Monday-Friday Weekend Overtime Available Southampton Area

Are you an experienced HGV Technician who wants strong basic pay - with the option to boost your earnings even further?

50,000 basic. Monday to Friday. Weekends available as overtime.

This is a proper opportunity for a skilled technician who knows their worth.



The Role

You'll be joining a busy, well-run commercial vehicle workshop in the Southampton area maintaining a modern mixed fleet including DAF Trucks, Volvo Trucks, Scania, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

The workshop is fully equipped with up-to-date diagnostics and proper tooling. You'll be supported - not micromanaged - and given realistic workloads.



What You'll Get

  • 50,000 basic salary

  • Monday to Friday core hours

  • Weekend overtime available (boost your earnings if you choose)

  • Overtime paid at enhanced rates

  • 28 days holiday

  • Pension scheme

  • Stable, long-term employment

You control your earnings. Take the overtime if you want it - your weekends aren't mandatory.



What You'll Be Doing

  • Routine servicing & preventative maintenance

  • 6-week inspections

  • MOT preparation

  • Diagnostics & fault finding

  • Mechanical & electrical repairs

  • Brakes, clutches, suspension & engine work

You'll be trusted to do quality work - no corner cutting.



What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on HGV experience

  • Confident with diagnostics

  • Able to work independently

  • Reliable and professional attitude

Qualifications are welcome but not essential - experience and ability matter more.



Why This Role?

Because skilled HGV Technicians are in high demand - and 50k basic with optional overtime in the Southampton area doesn't stay open for long.

If you're:

  • Underpaid

  • Forced into weekend rotas

  • Ready for a better workshop setup

Now's the time to move.



Location

Southampton area - easily commutable from Eastleigh, Totton, Romsey and surrounding areas.
