About Profile
A Level 3 qualified PSV/HGV Technician with a solid background in commercial vehicle maintenance, diesel engine repairs and passenger transport fleet operations. Having started their career as an Apprentice Bus Fitter before progressing into a qualified Technician position, this candidate has developed strong practical skills across vehicle inspections, preventative maintenance, mechanical fault finding and commercial vehicle repairs.
Currently working within a busy passenger transport workshop, they are responsible for maintaining and repairing diesel-powered commercial vehicles to ensure they remain safe, reliable and roadworthy. Their day-to-day work includes routine servicing, identifying mechanical defects, completing repairs and supporting the wider workshop team to keep vehicles operational and minimise downtime.
Their earlier experience within the bus industry provided a good foundation in commercial vehicle engineering. During their apprenticeship, they carried out vehicle inspections, servicing and mechanical repairs, worked to VOSA standards and attended breakdowns to help return vehicles to service. This experience has given them an understanding of the importance of safety, reliability and preventative maintenance within commercial transport operations.
They hold a Level 3 Heavy Goods Maintenance Technician qualification alongside Level 1 and Level 2 Motor Vehicle Maintenance qualifications. This combination of formal training and hands-on workshop experience has provided them with the technical knowledge needed to work confidently across heavy vehicle mechanical systems and general maintenance requirements.
A methodical and practical Technician, they are comfortable working independently or alongside other workshop staff. They understand the importance of following maintenance schedules, identifying potential defects early and completing repairs to the required standard, particularly when working on vehicles operating to demanding daily schedules.
They are now keen to develop their career further within a commercial main dealer or established HGV workshop, where they can build on their existing PSV and HGV experience, undertake additional manufacturer training and continue progressing as a commercial vehicle technician.
