Vacancy description:
In January 2023, Rivus was awarded the prestigious Fleet Repair and Maintenance contract for the Metropolitan Police Service. We are experts in critical fleet management, and there is no fleet more critical than the Met.

A Met Police vehicle is under significantly more stress and strain than the average vehicle on the roads of London, and requires specialist fleet expertise to keep it capable, responsive, and safe. We keep the Met fleet moving so that officers can focus on getting their job done and keeping London safe.
