At SAGA Truck and Van, an HGV Technician is no pigeon-hole job. Without you, business grinds to a halt. From emergency services to major supermarkets, vehicles need quality repairs.

This is a rich and varied role, inclusive of engine rebuilds, maintenance and services, and signing vehicles off as roadworthy. You also need to log your work, digitally, on the job, as you do it.
