- An experienced mobile or depot-based engineer who is ready to take on additional responsibility.
You'll ideally have experience with equipment such as MEWPs, scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers or other access platforms, with a strong understanding of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems.
Most importantly, you'll be a practical, dependable engineer who takes pride in doing the job properly and is keen to develop.
