Torridge District Council are seeking a skilled Vehicle Fitter to join our team and help keep our fleet operating safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
In this role, you will be responsible for providing a comprehensive maintenance and repair service for the Council's fleet of approximately 45-50 vehicles. You will carry out routine servicing, diagnostics, repairs, and vehicle inspections, ensuring that all vehicles comply with current legislation and remain roadworthy at all times.
