Van Technician

Altera Recruitment Group is supporting an established infrastructure contractor in North West London in the appointment of a Van Technician to maintain its light commercial vehicle (LGV) fleet. The pay is £15 to £17 an hour (£39,000 to £44,200), with optional Saturday overtime on top.
