What we're looking for

• BTEC Level 3, HNC, HND or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline
• Proven experience in a field-based maintenance or service technician role
• Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding and diagnostic skills
• Comfortable working independently, managing your own time and priorities on customer sites
