Hello,
Vehicle mechanics can be deployed. I am not sure if you can request just to work in the UK, this is not possible for most roles in the Army, I would encourage you to discuss this in more detail with the recruitment team who will be able to advise more on what the role entails. You can contact them via our 'get in touch' page https://apply.army.mod.uk/get-in-touch

In your role as Vehicle Mechanic you will deploy along with your unit as and when Operations or exercises require it. I would question why you would wish not to deploy outside of the UK and embrace all of the opportunities available in the Armed Forces?
