From daily ride inspections to major annual overhauls, your work will directly impact the safety and enjoyment of thousands of guests every day.

The Role
As a Mechanical Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the maintenance, inspection, testing, and rehabilitation of a wide range of rides and attractions from multiple OEM manufacturers. Working from our computer-based maintenance management system, you’ll ensure all mechanical systems meet strict safety, operational, and performance standards.

What you will be doing:
Routine Maintenance & Inspections

Carry out daily, weekly, monthly, and annual inspections in line with OEM schedules
Inspect ride tracks, vehicles, wheels, axles, suspension systems, motors, brakes, hydraulics, pneumatics, and sensors
Test safety systems including restraints, barriers, interlocks, and emergency stops
Ensure control systems and automated functions are fully operational and ride-ready

Annual Overhauls & Major Works

Lead comprehensive inspections and strip-downs of ride systems
Clean, lubricate, recondition, and replace critical components as required
Perform full-load and real-world performance testing
Coordinate with OEMs and specialist contractors on large-scale repairs and upgrades

Safety & Compliance

Ensure all systems meet OEM standards, local regulations, and industry best practice
Carry out and document risk assessments
Maintain accurate safety records and support audits and certifications
Participate in emergency drills and ensure evacuation systems function correctly

Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

Diagnose and resolve mechanical, sensor, and control system faults
Monitor ride performance data to identify potential issues before failures occur

Teamwork & Development

Collaborate with electrical engineers, safety teams, and park operations
Mentor apprentice engineers and share technical knowledge
Support new ride installations, upgrades, and special engineering projects

Why join us?

Work on unique, large-scale mechanical systems you won’t find anywhere else
Be part of a passionate engineering team in a dynamic, exciting environment
Make a real difference to guest safety and experience every single day
Fantastic staff benefits and discounts
Free admission for you and 4 guests to Drayton Manor, Waterworld, and West Midlands Safari Park

If you’re a detail-driven Mechanical Engineer who takes pride in safety, reliability, and engineering excellence—and you like the idea of maintaining some of the most exciting machinery around—we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help keep the thrills moving safely.
