Electrical Integration: Wire main control boxes, limit switches, user joysticks, battery banks, secondary controls, and emergency stop systems.
Technical Blueprint Reading: Accurately interpret complex engineering drawings, hydraulic schematics, and electrical wiring diagrams.
Quality & Testing: Inspect critical torque specifications, check fluid levels, and conduct initial functional and load testing before installation sign-off.
Field Service, Maintenance & Field Operations
Scissor Lift Maintenance & Repair: Deliver scheduled planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and rapid-response emergency breakdown repairs at client sites.
Diagnostics & Fault-Finding: Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic faults efficiently to minimise client downtime.
Technical Mentorship: Act as a senior technical resource, supporting, guiding, and sharing knowledge with fellow field engineers facing challenging site issues.
Health & Safety Compliance: Adhere strictly to manufacturing and site-specific safety regulations, ensuring safe isolation practices and robust risk management.
