Job Vacancy Alert!!!
We are looking to recruit 1 Recovery Operator.
Applicants must have up to date CPC a tacho card and at least a C licence/class 2 if your old school.
Mechanical knowledge would be an advantage but not essential if you have the right attitude.
The job roll requires s**t hours in s**t weather you are either getting p**s wet through, freezing cold, too hot or covered in crap for people who moan at you like it's your fault they have crashed or broken down and they have had to wait for you to get to them.
4 ON 4 OFF SHIFT PATTERN – 42 Hours a week plus overtime.
The shifts would be 8am to 8pm 4 on 4 off however the chances of getting finished on time are rare so if you like to be home in time for tea in front of the telly watching Love Island in your jammies this is probably not the job for you.
Although training will be given, common sense, self-preservation, good work ethics and being able to work as part of a team will make your job and your colleagues jobs slightly easier.
The job is physical and hands on so if you’re not used to manual labour again you might want to think again.
However, we do have a good team of employees that work round the clock.
Every day is different and there is plenty of progression.
We look to employ people on a permanent basis full training and PPE supplied.
Rates will depend on skills, licence and work ethics.
Over time and holiday cover will be available.
If this is a challenge you want to set yourself, please send your CV to [email protected]
If this doesn't sound like something you would want to do remember next time you break down or need any recovery assistance that recovery operator you have been waiting for has to deal with all of the above on a daily basis.
Keep safe

Did you know we carry out fleet repairs and servicing in our workshop.
This customer was contracting from down south one call got his vehicle collected and repaired saving the hassle of getting recovered all the way back home and then trying to find a garage that could carry out the repair in a decent time frame.
