Torridge District Council are seeking a skilled Vehicle Fitter to join our team and help keep our fleet operating safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

In this role, you will be responsible for providing a comprehensive maintenance and repair service for the Council’s fleet of approximately 45-50 vehicles. You will carry out routine servicing, diagnostics, repairs, and vehicle inspections, ensuring that all vehicles comply with current legislation and remain roadworthy at all times. You will also prepare vehicles for MOT inspections and ensure they are maintained to the required standards throughout their operational life.

This position requires someone who is organised, reliable, and able to work effectively to strict service schedules and Health & Safety inspection deadlines.

The successful candidate will be based at our new Operational Services Centre, giving you the opportunity to work within a modern, well-equipped facility as part of a forward-thinking and well-invested service. We are committed to supporting our employees, providing high-quality equipment and working environments, and delivering excellent services to our local communities. Our new centre offers a clean, professional, and purpose-built workspace that reflects the vital role our teams play every day.

This role offers the opportunity to maintain a healthy work-life balance with predictable working patterns and fewer commercial pressures than many private sector environments. This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive and dedicated team within a modern, purpose-built workshop facility. You’ll have access to high-quality equipment, a varied vehicle fleet, and the chance to play a key role in delivering essential services across the district. We are committed to investing in our people and providing a workplace where your skills and experience are valued.

A full UK HGV driving licence is essential for this role.
