HGV Technician / HGV Engineer - 45,000 to 50,000 - Solihull Leading Fleet Company Seeking Ex-Forces Engineers If you're a REME Vehicle Mechanic, Recovery Mechanic, or Forces engineer with experience maintaining military vehicles, this is the career move designed for you. You've spent years maintaining and repairing vehicles in environments where reliability isn't optional. Whether that was during exercises, deployments, or in a high-tempo workshop, you've built a level of diagnostic ability and mechanical knowledge that translates perfectly into the HGV industry. Now imagine applying those same skills to a modern fleet of HGVs, in a role where your experience is recognised, respected, and properly rewarded. You already know how to diagnose faults quickly and methodically. You've worked on engines, electrics, braking systems, hydraulics and driveline components under pressure. In civilian HGV engineering, those same skills are in high demand. This role isn't about starting again. It's about transitioning the engineering skills you already have into a stable civilian career. Many of the best HGV engineers in the industry started their careers in the forces because employers understand the discipline, technical ability and reliability ex-military engineers bring. What You'll Be Doing Servicing, maintaining and repairing HGVs and commercial vehicles Diagnosing faults across mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems Carrying out inspections, preventative maintenance and repairs Working within a professional and supportive workshop team Ensuring vehicles remain safe, compliant and operational What You'll Gain 45,000 to 50,000 salary Consistent working hours with real work-life balance A stable long-term engineering career Ongoing training and development on modern HGV systems The opportunity to work for a well-established and growing fleet operation A company that actively values ex-forces engineers Why Ex-Forces Engineers Fit This Role Perfectly Your background already includes: Mechanical and electrical diagnostics Working with diesel engines, braking systems and vehicle electrics Structured maintenance schedules and preventative servicing Repairing vehicles in demanding environments Working safely within high-responsibility engineering roles Those skills transfer directly into HGV maintenance and repair, often giving ex-forces engineers a significant advantage in the sector. A Civilian Role That Still Feels Familiar You'll still be solving faults, keeping vehicles operational, and working alongside skilled engineers - just without the deployments, exercises or uncertainty. Instead, you'll have: Stable hours A well-equipped workshop Modern fleet vehicles Clear career progression Take the Next Step If you're leaving the forces, or you're an ex-military mechanic looking to build a stable career as an HGV technician in Solihull, we'd like to hear from you. Your experience is exactly what we're looking for. Apply today and take the next step in your engineering career.
