If you're a REME vehicle mechanic who's spent years keeping vital transport assets moving under pressure, this role has been built around your skill set.
You already know how to diagnose faults faster than most people can brief a task. You've kept vehicles running in conditions no manufacturer would sign off. Now picture using that expertise on a modern HGV fleet, with stable hours and an employer who genuinely appreciates what you bring.
This isn't about learning everything from scratch. It's about transferring the mechanical, electrical and diagnostic skills you already have into a role where they're recognised, rewarded, and used on well-maintained commercial vehicles.
What You'll Be Doing
Servicing, maintaining and repairing HGVs
Carrying out diagnostics and fault-finding
Working within a supportive workshop team that trusts your judgement
Keeping fleet vehicles on the road without the pressure of military operational tempos
What You'll Gain
A competitive salary of £45,000 to £55,000
Consistent working hours that actually support work-life balance
Overtime to bump up your earnings
Ongoing training and development where useful
A long-term role with a respected and growing logistics business
Why REME Mechanics Fit This Role Perfectly
Because you've already mastered engines, transmissions, electrics, diagnostics and problem-solving in environments tougher than anything you'll find in civvy street. In this role, those skills transfer seamlessly and you'll finally have the stability and support to use them to their full potential.
Take the Next Step
