HGV; Heavy Goods Vehicle Technician Apprenticeship

Join our 3-year HGV Technician Apprenticeship and play a vital role in maintaining the London Fire Brigade’s fleet of over 400 vehicles. You’ll be at the heart of the action, helping ensure these life‑saving vehicles are always ready to respond.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands‑on experience.

• When the sirens sound, London depends on its fire engines being fully operational. As an apprentice, you’ll learn to work safely and proactively to keep these critical vehicles on the road.
• You’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor who will support your development as you learn to service and repair HGVs and specialist fire vehicles. From day one, you’ll gain hands‑on experience maintaining everything from 32m turntable ladders to cutting‑edge electric fire engines.
• Working in our Ruislip workshop alongside experienced technicians, you’ll use state‑of‑the‑art tools and equipment to master complex diagnostics, repairs, and servicing. It’s challenging work, but incredibly rewarding, knowing your efforts help protect Londoners every day.
• This is an exciting time to join the team. The Brigade is modernising its fleet with renewable fuels, decarbonisation initiatives, and advanced technologies. You’ll be part of a forward‑thinking environment that supports cross‑skilling and continuous learning.
