Adecco is recruiting on behalf of one of its clients for a Heavy-Duty and Commercial Vehicle Mechanic for a long-term temporary assignment in THOUARS. You will work day shifts in a well-organized workshop, maintaining a fleet of commercial and heavy-duty vehicles with recent electronic diagnostic tools.

The client is an industrial company specializing in the processing and preservation of meat products. It has its own vehicle maintenance department to ensure business continuity and reliable deliveries.

This full-time temporary position has an initial duration of 18 months and is due to start on 3 October 2026. Pay and any benefits will be discussed during interviews, based on your experience and the company’s practices.

• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic and electronic faults using diagnostic equipment and technical documentation.
• Work on braking, suspension and hydraulic systems, as well as engine components and auxiliary equipment, ensuring reliable return to service.
• Help track interventions and record operations in the designated tools, in coordination with your manager and the maintenance team.

Requirements
