Job Opportunity: Mechanical Technician / Trailer Builder (Full Time)

Houghton Parkhouse Ltd, a specialist in the design and manufacture of high-spec livestock transporters, is looking to recruit a Mechanical Technician to join our growing production team.

This role is focused on new builds and bespoke manufacturing, not general servicing. You will be involved in assembling complete livestock transporters and trailer systems from the ground up.

We are looking for someone practical, hands-on, and interested in mechanical systems, hydraulics, and building equipment properly from first principles.

The Role:

Build and assemble new livestock trailers and containers from chassis stage through to completion
Fit axles, braking systems, and pipework on O2 and O4 trailers
Install and set up hydraulic systems, including pumps, motors, and control systems
Assemble and set up pulley and lifting deck systems within livestock containers
Carry out hydraulic testing, pressure testing, and commissioning
Assist with occasional maintenance of livestock containers (hydraulic oil changes, rope replacement, system checks)
Support upkeep of factory equipment (forklifts, tugs, etc.) where required
Work closely with fabrication and production teams to deliver a finished, working product

What This Role Is NOT:

Not a general vehicle servicing role
Not routine trailer servicing or MOT-style work
Not roadside repair or breakdown work

This is a build-focused role, suited to someone who enjoys creating and assembling machinery rather than just maintaining it.

Requirements:

Mechanical background (vehicle, plant, agricultural, or similar)
Interest in hydraulics and mechanical systems
Ability to follow instructions and work to a high standard
Good attention to detail and pride in workmanship
Willingness to learn and develop new skills
Team-oriented with a positive attitude

Training & Development:

Opportunity to attend relevant training courses (e.g. WABCO trailer systems, if required)
Ongoing in-house training on hydraulic and specialist livestock systems

Benefits:

Monday to Friday: 8:00am – 4:45pm
2 × 10-minute paid breaks + 45-minute unpaid lunch
Overtime available (Monday–Saturday) with bonus opportunities
30 days paid holiday per year
Company pension scheme
PPE, uniform, and boots provided
On-site parking and canteen facilities

Pay:

Competitive, based on experience and level of responsibility

How to Apply:

Please call 015395 63347 or email [email protected]

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Benefits:

Free parking
On-site parking
