Full Job Description

You have just contributed to ensuring that Britain's roads are one of the safest in Europe. How did you do that? You are at a roadside check, alongside other agencies, inspecting vehicles to make sure they are safe to drive. You find a defect on a vehicle, the driver is in a rush and you have to make a decision whether to allow the driver to carry on driving it, or to take enforcement action.,

  • I carried out roadside checks and prohibited dangerous vehicles from continuing with their journeys.
  • I wrote reports on my findings.
  • I presented evidence at a Public Inquiry / Court.
  • I attended a team meeting and collaborated with my colleagues.
  • I made a difference to the safety of our roads.
  • A typical Commercial Vehicle Examiner will also:
  • Analyse data, looking for discrepancies and trends.
  • Answer technical queries from customers, offering advice, guidance and education as required.
  • Keep their technical knowledge up to date and manage their personal development.
  • Be an effective teammate and contribute to team events and meetings.
  • Champion DVSA and road safety.

    We are looking for self-motivated individuals to join our professional enforcement team as a Commercial Vehicle Examiner, for shift working positions throughout the country.
