Join a workshop team where engineers stay for 20-30 years. We’re recruiting for a Senior Workshop Service Technician to join Karcher’s long-standing Banbury workshop team, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy what they do, know their craft and get stuck in. This is a Monday to Friday role 8:30 - 5pm.

This role would suit an experienced Service Engineer or Workshop Engineer with a strong background in servicing, maintaining and repairing mechanical equipment. You must have experience working on diesel engines, along with strong mechanical fault‑finding skills. Experience with plant machinery, commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, forklifts or similar heavy equipment is essential.

• Diagnose, service, maintain and repair Kärcher industrial cleaning equipment and specialist machinery
• Carry out fault finding across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Conduct pre‑delivery inspections (PDI's) and machine preparation
• Replace components, complete repairs and maintain high workshop standards
• Produce accurate repair documentation and cost estimates using service systems
• Support field engineers and fellow workshop technicians where required
• Ensure tools, equipment and working practices meet safety and quality standards
• Work methodically and follow service processes to deliver a high standard of workmanship

Workshop Mechanic | Garage Mechanic / Vehicle Technician | FLT Engineer / Forklift Technician | Plant, Agricultural or Powered Access Engineer | Diesel Technician | Workshop Engineer | Service Technician | Maintenance Engineer

You’ll ideally bring:

• Strong mechanical fault‑finding skills
• Workshop‑based service, repair or maintenance experience
• Good understanding of engines
• A practical, hands‑on mindset and pride in quality workmanship
• A methodical approach and willingness to learn
• Good team fit - someone who enjoys being part of a supportive workshop environment

What’s in it for you?

• £41,110 as a starting salary plus an excellent benefits package, including:
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Pension, health plan, sick pay and critical illness cover
• End of year discretionary bonus
• Staff discounts and social events
• Ongoing training and career development
• Stable Monday‑Friday workshop role (8:30am‑5:00pm)
• A genuinely supportive, long‑standing team environment

If you enjoy fault finding, like variety, take pride in quality workmanship and want to be part of a team where people genuinely stay - we’d love to hear from you.
