New opportunities within the Transport Services Section of Tayside Contracts

Vacancy Ref: 13546

Tayside Contracts is considering the introduction of a nightshift within its vehicle maintenance workshop at Inveralmond Industrial Estate, Perth. The introduction of the nightshift is dependent on having a minimum of one chargehand and two mechanics who are suitably qualified. Failure to achieve this number means the proposed nightshift cannot proceed.

The roles involve the maintenance of a diverse fleet of vehicles and plant for both Tayside Contracts and our external customers.

You will have served a recognised and relevant apprenticeship and hold a relevant City & Guilds 381, parts 1, 2 & 3 or equivalent SVQ qualification.

A current driving licence, Category B, is essential and Category C1, C or C+E is desirable.

We offer a competitive salary*, have some fantastic employee benefits and have opportunities for working overtime at enhanced rates.

Mechanic: £24,772.03 - £27,125.76 per annum {£12.84 - £14.06 per hour}

  • Night Working allowance - £18.83 per night.
  • Tool allowance - £15.00 per week.
  • Standby Payment - £119.69 per week when on standby (it is a contractual requirement that chargehands and mechanics participate on a stand-by rota).

  • 32 days annual leave including 5 fixed public holidays rising to 37 days after 5 years’ service.
