Duties

Dorset Council operates a diverse fleet of vehicles ranging from car derived vans, buses and commercial vehicles some of which are fitted with different types of specialist equipment. As a minimum you will need to have experience of working on heavy commercial vehicle chassis components and hold a LGV Class C drivers licence. The work involves carrying out all scheduled (servicing, inspections, modifications and MOT preparation) along with unscheduled repairs, including diagnosing faults through to completing repairs which require being carried out competently first time. The post holder may be required to attend roadside breakdowns and emergencies which might be outside normal working hours. Other duties will include pressure washing and cleaning vehicles and plant, and keeping the workshop or other parts of the depot clean and tidy as required.
