JOB REFERENCE: HJT-HTTF0626
This position focuses exclusively on trailer systems rather than vehicle engines. At Hutchinson Specialist Trailer Centre, we specialise in the servicing, repair, and maintenance of heavy-haulage and abnormal-load trailers.
We’re looking for hands-on technicians who take pride in doing a job properly. Whether you’re already a trailer expert or a skilled mechanic looking to move into a specialist field, we provide the environment and the training to make you a master of the "heavy" side of the industry.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Hands-on Variety: You’ll be working on everything from standard trailer running gear to specialist heavy-haulage equipment like Nooteboom, Goldhofer, Faymonville, and Doll.

- Rebuilds & Repairs: You’ll get the satisfaction of stripping trailers back to the chassis and fixing any faults you find.
- Systems Work: You’ll get stuck into braking systems, suspension, and hydraulics.
- Problem Solving: You’ll work closely with our stores team to identify and order the right specialist parts for each unique repair.
- Out & About: To keep things varied, you’ll occasionally attend trailer-related breakdowns when a customer needs our expertise on-site.

What You’ll Bring
- Experience: Proven experience specifically working on HGV trailers or heavy commercial plant.

- Teamwork: The ability to work well as part of a team and support others when needed.
