We're TIP Group - we've kept trailers, tankers, and fleets moving safely since 1968, and we're a certified Great Place to Work®.

• Support and mentor technicians/apprentices, helping with technical guidance, problem-solving, and maintaining high workshop standards.

• Working closely with a team that’s hands-on, supportive, and values your input

• Keeping our fleet road-ready and safe for the long haul

• Previous supervisory or team leadership experience within a workshop environment, with the ability to motivate, guide and support other technicians.

• IRTEC certification desirable (or working towards).

• Heavy Vehicle Level 3 qualification, or equivalent time-served experience.

• Strong technical knowledge, with the confidence to support fault diagnosis, repairs and workshop problem-solving.

• Good organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise workloads and keep workshop operations running efficiently.

• A proactive, safety-first mindset, leading by example and taking pride in maintaining high standards of workmanship.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
