Are you a qualified Multi-Skilled Engineer looking for a permanent role unlike any other? Join the engineering team at Thorpe Park Resort and maintain some of the UK's most advanced ride systems and attractions.
Working across electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and control systems, you'll diagnose faults, complete planned maintenance and carry out safety-critical inspections that keep our world-class rides operating safely and reliably.
In return, you'll receive competitive pay, a discretionary bonus, Merlin Annual Passes, 40% off LEGO, ongoing training and development, and the opportunity to apply your engineering expertise in one of the UK's most unique technical environments.
No two days are the same in this role. As a Multi-Skilled Engineer at Thorpe Park Resort, you'll work on a diverse range of high-profile attractions, applying your electrical and mechanical expertise to solve complex engineering challenges in a fast-paced environment.
From fault-finding on ride control systems and maintaining electrical equipment to overhauling ride vehicles, brake assemblies and pneumatic components, you'll be involved in every aspect of attraction reliability and performance. You'll use your technical knowledge, diagnostic skills and attention to detail to identify issues, deliver effective repairs and continually improve asset performance.
Working as part of a highly skilled engineering team, you'll contribute to major winter maintenance projects, planned refurbishment programmes and continuous improvement initiatives, helping ensure our attractions remain safe, compliant and ready to deliver unforgettable guest experiences throughout the season.
This is an opportunity to apply and expand your engineering capabilities on equipment unlike anything found in manufacturing, FMCG, automotive, rail or other traditional maintenance environments, while building a rewarding career with one of the world's leading entertainment companies.
