This role is primarily workshop based, supporting the wider engineering team, with occasional site attendance when required. The business places real value on commitment and is keen to attract engineers who want to build a long-term career rather than make short-term moves.

The Role

  • Routine service, maintenance, and repair of powered access equipment
  • Supporting the workshop team with day-to-day engineering activities
  • Carrying out PDI inspections and LOLER examinations
  • Diagnosing and repairing faults to ensure equipment is fit for hire
  • Occasional attendance at customer sites for breakdown support
  • Accurate use of internal systems – engineers must be computer-savvy

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience working with powered access machinery
  • CAP licence preferred (not essential with strong industry experience)
  • IPAF licence
  • NVQ qualification or equivalent
  • Full UK driving licence
  • A team-focused, reliable engineer seeking long-term stability
  • Strong attention to detail and a professional approach to work
