It is practical work on lorries and trailers, along with buses and lighter commercial vehicles, in a modern workshop that puts safety first. Expect at least 40 hours a week, plus a half-day on Saturdays that is rostered.
The employer is an Accredited Employer and helps with visa transfers, so sponsorship forms part of how it recruits.
