Job description

Service Engineer - Overhead Cranes

Shropshire/West Midlands based

£40,000 - £45,000 + Overtime (OTE 55k-60k) + Van + Training + Benefits

Are you either looking to get into the overhead crane industry or are already in the industry and seeking a change?

This opportunity will suit someone who wants training, day‑to‑day variety and the opportunity to travel for a growing and forward‑thinking newer player on the scene.

The company, although newer to the cranes and lifting market, is already reasonably well established but due to growth, a solid business model and ambition want to expand their team. This part of their business focuses on overhead cranes for customers in industrial settings where they will design, manufacture, install and service their product range and whilst mostly UK wide, they also have some customers in continental Europe.

The role involves both the installation and service of their range of overhead cranes although depending on experience you could either shadow an engineer during your training conducting service work before progressing into a fully skilled engineer over time or go into the installation and service fully fledged engineering sooner. As a minimum having good mechanical skills, 3 phase electrics skills and an engineering background are a prerequisite, but it is obviously beneficial if you already have lifting equipment or cranes experience.

This is a great chance to join an up‑and‑coming professional specialist who are growing an impressive reputation where you will be developed and earn well through regular overtime.

The Role:

• Service Engineer
• Installing and Servicing Overhead Cranes
• Mon - Friday (8-4:30am mon to thur / 8 - 2 fri)
• Sat - time and half / sun - double time
• Van provided but you will need own vehicle to commute to and from their depot to collect it

Candidate Requirements:

• Mechanical or Electrical qualification
• 3 Phase Electrics skills
• Full Driving License
• LEEA or IPAF or Crane experience beneficial
