What You'll Do

As part of this apprenticeship, you’ll play a key role in supporting day-to-day operations.

HGV Technicians work on all the systems found within the vehicle. The nature of the work ranges from replacing simple parts to solving complex faults with the use of diagnostic methods and equipment.

The day-to-day tasks faced by the technician are constantly changing, driven by the introduction of ever more complex technologies and diagnostic techniques.
