WHAT DOES A WAREHOUSE EQUIPMENT TECHNICIAN DO?

This is not a standard pick-and-pack warehouse role. At UK Rigging, you are the custodian of high-end entertainment technology. You will ensure that every piece of gear—from heavy motors to specialized rigging hardware is safe, functional, and ready for the world’s biggest tours and events.

THE DUTIES OF OUR TECHNICIANS INCLUDE:

• Technical Inspection: Accurately checking equipment in and out, ensuring all components meet safety standards.
• Equipment Maintenance: Carrying out hands‑on maintenance and repairs on rigging gear to keep it in peak working order.
• Transport Logistics: Regularly loading and unloading specialized equipment onto trucks and vans for major industry projects.
• Digital Tracking: Utilizing IT systems to scan and track the movements of assets while picking and packing hire equipment orders.
• Environment Management: Maintaining an organized, tidy, and safe warehouse environment.

DO YOU HAVE THE TECHNICAL MINDSET?

• Mechanical Aptitude: You enjoy understanding how things work and are confident using tools to maintain and repair equipment.
• Technical Accuracy: You have a sharp eye for detail, ensuring every item is checked with 100% accuracy to maintain safety standards.
• Manual Dexterity: You have the “hands‑on” skills required to handle a wide range of rigging tasks and equipment maintenance.
• Physical Stamina: You are comfortable being on your feet most of the day, with heavy lifting and the manual work involved in loading and unloading vehicles.
• Professional Responsibility: You can be trusted to complete solo maintenance tasks and take ownership of the safety of the gear you inspect.
• Team Player: You enjoy working hard within a team to achieve shared goals.

CAREER LONGEVITY & DEVELOPMENT

This position offers the stability of a long‑term, permanent role within our Bolton headquarters. This role is designed for those who want to build a career within the company and provides a depth of knowledge regarding equipment compliance that is essential for more senior positions. For those who demonstrate exceptional technical skill, team members may have the option to train in arena rigging alongside their primary duties.
