Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary, based on experience
• Profit‑sharing opportunities
• Employee and store discounts
• Full‑time or part‑time working considered
• Flexibility around working hours and schedule
• Opportunity to develop your skills and grow with the business
• A friendly, family‑run working environment

About the Role

This is a predominantly workshop‑based engineering role at our Hillsborough showroom.

You’ll work closely with the management team and our mobile engineer to maintain, service, repair and prepare a wide range of mobility equipment.

The role will involve a mixture of walk‑in customer repairs, fault diagnosis, servicing, refurbishment and preparing used equipment for resale, with additional field support provided to our mobile engineer when required.

Your main focus will be ensuring that equipment is safe, reliable, correctly repaired and ready for use.

Typical Responsibilities

• Carrying out repairs and servicing on mobility scooters, wheelchairs and other mobility equipment.
• Completing walk‑in repairs for customers at our Hillsborough workshop.
• Fault‑finding and diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults and identifying the cause of problems.
• Testing batteries, motors, controllers, wiring and other electrical components.
• Carrying out routine servicing, maintenance and safety inspections.
• Reconditioning and refurbishing used mobility equipment to a high standard.
• Preparing equipment for sale and customer delivery.
• Carrying out thorough checks to ensure repaired equipment is safe and functioning correctly.
• Supporting our mobile engineer with field‑based repairs and servicing when required.
• Maintaining accurate records of repairs, servicing and parts used.
• Keeping the workshop clean, organised and safe.
• Ensuring work is completed to a consistently high standard.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is practical, technically minded and enjoys solving problems.

The ideal candidate will have experience in mechanical or electrical diagnostics, maintenance or repairing similar equipment.

We’re particularly interested in someone who can diagnose a fault, understand why something has failed and work out the best way to repair it.

You should be:

• Experienced in mechanical and/or electrical fault finding and diagnostics-no qualifications necessary
• Practical and confident using tools and workshop equipment.
• Comfortable working with low voltage electrical and mechanical systems.
• Methodical and logical when diagnosing faults.
• Reliable, organised and able to work independently.
• A clear communicator with good attention to detail.
• Comfortable working in a flexible, hands‑on team environment.
• Willing to learn and develop specialist mobility engineering knowledge.
• Passionate about producing quality workmanship.
• Genuinely motivated by helping people and making a positive difference to their independence.

Mobility Experience

Previous experience working with mobility equipment would be a major advantage, but it isn’t essential.

We would also welcome applications from people with experience in areas such as:

• Vending machine repairs
• Push bike technician
• Automotive or vehicle repair
• Mechanical engineering
• Electronics
• Appliance repair
• General engineering or maintenance
• Other technical or diagnostic roles

Training will be provided to the right candidate, particularly around mobility‑specific equipment, products and procedures.

Electrical & Diagnostic Skills

Experience diagnosing electrical faults would be particularly valuable.

Knowledge of batteries, motors, controllers, wiring, electrical circuits and electronic components would be an advantage.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys fault‑finding and has the ability to work through a problem logically to identify the underlying cause.

Schedule & Flexibility

We open 6 days per week, Monday to Saturday, 9‑5.

We are happy to discuss working patterns with the right person.

Sheffield Mobility is an equal opportunities employer and we recruit based on merit, skills, experience and suitability for the role.
