Mobile Patrol Mechanic

DLG is evolving. Across every facet of our business, our teams are embracing new opportunities and putting customers at the heart of everything they do. At Green Flag, we understand that breakdowns can turn a good day into a stressful one. By joining our team you'll be an integral part of our expanding services - the backbone if you will - and enjoy a career with endless variety and a genuine sense of fulfilment. It's Miles Better.

This is a permanent role in Peckham, Woolwich, Dartford, Gravesend, Beckenham, Bromley, Croydon, Caterham, Coulsdon, Erith, Eltham.

You will be contracted to work 40 hours, four days a week, starting on a shift pattern with operating hours between 7am and 8pm Monday to Sunday, with the opportunity to do overtime, you choose.

We will provide you with a Green Flag vehicle and you will start your day from your home.

We know that our customer's vehicles make getting from A to B that much easier, whether that's to do the weekly shop, the school run or to get away on a staycation, it's all important, but sometimes our customers need us to get their vehicle back on the road and that's where you'll come in.

You'll put your technical knowledge to the test. Whether it is out of fuel, requires a tyre repair/change or a new battery, you will be ready and prepared to put their mind at rest and assist with a full kit on board to help them get back on the move. You will need to diagnose the problem and understand the requirements to resolve it and give them the confidence to head off on their journey with no further interruptions.
