Job description

Powered Access Engineer (MEWP Engineer) | Oxfordshire

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 Oxfordshire and the wider South East.

Here’s what you get from day one:

• Up to £52,000 DOE
• Guaranteed overtime, written into the deal
• Up to £1,200 annual bonus
• Company van and fuel card
• UK travel expenses covered
• 33 days' annual leave including bank holidays
• Company pension
• Mobile phone and tablet supplied
• Ongoing manufacturer training and a genuine route to progress your engineering career

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

As a field-based service engineer, you'll work independently on powered access equipment and plant, including MEWPs, scissor lifts, cherry pickers, boom lifts, mast lifts and telehandlers:

• 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

The ability to explain how a relay works. If you can talk us through it clearly, you'll be well placed to handle the electrical fault-finding on this job.

• Strong mechanical, hydraulic and electrical skills
• Experience on powered access, MEWPs, plant or similar equipment
• A full UK driving licence
• IPAF qualification (or you're willing to get it)
• LOLER experience (desirable, not essential)
• The confidence to work alone on customer sites and deliver great service

Your job title might be Powered Access Engineer, Plant Engineer, Field Service Engineer, Mobile Engineer, Heavy Plant Fitter or Plant Mechanic. If you can diagnose a fault, fix it right and keep customers up and running, we want to hear from you.

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.
