• Maintain a personable and professional approach when interacting with customers on-site.
• Follow all applicable safety procedures during assembly, installation, testing, repair, and refurbishment activities.
• Inspect tools and equipment before use and ensure they remain in safe working condition.
• Report damaged tools, unsafe equipment, or workshop hazards promptly.
• Handle machines and components carefully to prevent unnecessary damage during transport, repair, or installation.
• Maintain an orderly and safe workshop environment.
• Complete additional technical or operational duties assigned by the line manager.

Previous hands‑on experience repairing and maintaining sports or gym equipment is mandatory. The successful candidate should be comfortable working with mechanical assemblies, fitness machines, workshop tools, replacement parts, and equipment testing procedures. Strong attention to safety is essential because the position involves machinery, tools, heavy equipment, and customer‑site installations. Candidates should also demonstrate good communication and customer service skills, particularly when explaining service work or equipment functionality. The role suits a practical technician who enjoys fault‑finding, repairing equipment, and working both independently and as part of a workshop and service team.
