We are recruiting for a Workshop Engineer to join a specialist engineering business manufacturing cherry pickers and access equipment.

This is a great opportunity for a mechanically minded engineer with experience in plant machinery, forklifts, cars or commercial vehicles to transfer their skills into a workshop-based engineering role.

The Role:

• Carry out servicing, maintenance and repairs on specialist access equipment.
• Diagnose mechanical faults and carry out effective repairs.
• Complete inspections and ensure equipment is safe and ready for use.
• Work with mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems.
• Identify faults and assist with troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
• Maintain accurate service records and follow health and safety procedures.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Previous experience in a mechanical engineering, vehicle maintenance or plant machinery role.
• Relevant mechanical qualifications, such as NVQ or City & Guilds Level 2 or 3.
• Experience as a Forklift Engineer, Plant Fitter, Vehicle Technician, Car Mechanic, HGV Technician or similar.
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
• A practical, hands-on approach and the ability to work independently.

Forklift or access equipment experience would be beneficial but is not essential. Candidates with suitable mechanical experience working on cars, commercial vehicles or plant machinery are encouraged to apply.
