Want to know a little about us?

At Novuna Vehicle Solutions, we're passionate about building a better tomorrow.  Which is why we're lighting the way in the electric vehicle revolution.  From family cars to HGVs, we're helping customers of all kinds on their journey to carbon-free mobility.

What does the role involve?

This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract.

You will be involved in supporting our customers in keeping their vehicles on the road by ensuring minimal 'downtime'. This will involve managing our fleet of Vans from their start-to-end journey. Attendance at the Trowbridge office is required at least 2 days per week once you have fully completed your training. Working patterns consist of an early shift (8:30-16:30) and, a late shift (9:00-17:30) with weekend work on a Saturday (on rotation).

What are we looking for?

You've previously worked in a job that involves delivering excellent customer service and this comes naturally to you. You always adopt a can-do attitude and are confident in challenging where required to ensure the best possible outcome is received for the customer. You come with the ability to work on your own initiative as well as working as part of a team. 

Also, we're looking for the following: 

  • Technical and mechanical awareness of Vans
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to deliver accurate work, with great attention to detail
  • Able to work well with ever-changing deadlines and remain calm under pressure

In addition to a market-benchmarked salary and excellent bonus scheme, our offer to you includes:

  • Flexible hybrid working
  • 25 days' holiday, plus bank holidays and the option to buy/sell 5 days
  • Full wellbeing package including BUPA, digital GP service, 24/7 employee assistance, plus wellbeing events throughout the year
