Surrey Engineers: stop working overtime you're not paid for.

If you're a powered access engineer, MEWP engineer, plant fitter, mobile plant engineer or field service engineer who's tired of chasing overtime, paying for your own fuel and being told there's "no budget" for training, read on.

A leading powered access specialist is hiring experienced engineers across Surrey and the wider South East. Here's what you get from day one:

Your engineering package

• Up to £52,000 DOE
• Guaranteed overtime, written into the deal

Your hours

Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm, plus overtime

Weekends are yours. The overtime is there when you want the extra money.

Your base: a workshop that looks after you

• Brand new kitchen for the team
• Washing machine so your uniform is cleaned for you
• Air fryer for proper lunches
• Fridge stocked with bacon and sausages, so a bacon or sausage sandwich is never far away

What you'll be doing

• Servicing, planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and breakdown repairs
• Mechanical, hydraulic and electrical fault-finding
• Diagnostics on powered access and access platform equipment
• LOLER inspections and thorough examinations
• Customer site visits and technical support
• Accurate service, inspection and compliance reporting

This is the engineering job for you if you have

• Experience on powered access, MEWPs, plant or similar equipment
• A full UK driving licence
• IPAF qualification (or you're willing to get it)

Why move?

You already have the skills. The only question is whether your current employer pays you what you're worth. This role offers a higher salary, overtime you can count on, an annual bonus, set hours and a company van you don't have to pay to run, with a well‑known powered access company that invests in its engineers. And yes, there's bacon.
