Fleet Services are responsible for Force vehicles across Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Our aim is to provide a safe and efficient vehicle Fleet to meet the demands of operational policing.
We have two workshops in Dorset open Monday to Friday, and are looking for two Fleet Services Vehicle Technicians to join our workshop at Ferndown. We offer a diverse working week working on our fleet from purchase to disposal, Light Commercial Vehicles to small cars and all in between. Our service schedule interval is significantly reduced ensuring we get to work on very well maintained vehicles.
Why being a Dorset Police Vehicle Technician is such a positive career choice.
It’s just that, a career! Several of our team members have over thirty years’ service.
Our working environment is clean, warm, safe and well equipped. The jobs we undertake give satisfaction due to being completed to a high standard, not a customer’s budget.
All work is completed with the priority being safety, not profit. There is no bonus scheme. Our bonus is knowing we have completed our work one hundred percent correct and without compromise.
The work life balance is high on the list of reasons to join us. We work a 37 hour week Monday to Friday so there’s no scheduled weekend work (although overtime is offered on occasion which is paid at an enhanced rate and is optional).
Flexi time, all Bank Holidays and a generous leave entitlement. There is even a death in service pay out, for peace of mind for dependants.
All specialist tools outside of the normal Technicians tools are supplied. Technicians’ personal tools and box are insured and replaced if broken.
Apply today and find out why we stay.
