Job description

🌍 Our mission

We don’t only maintain lifts and escalators — we transform how they’re operated.
At WeMaintain, we build tech that empowers the people who keep cities running, making building maintenance smarter, faster, and more human.

🔧 Why join us?

You don’t have to choose between autonomy and stability.

Big companies offer structure but little ownership or recognition.
Small companies offer freedom but not always clear direction or long-term support.

At WeMaintain, you get both:

• Autonomy backed by real support and modern tools

• A culture of trust, transparency, and respect

• Career growth and opportunities for internal mobility

• A team that values grit, perseverance, and the drive to make a real impact

Our values come to life every day:

🤝 Care — Respect and support for clients and colleagues
💪 Grit — Persistence and high standards to get things done right
🌱 Uniqueness — Encouragement to share ideas and challenge the status quo

• Thrive in a flat, open environment where your voice matters

• Care deeply about quality, safety, and doing things right

📌 What Will Your Future Role Be?

As a Technical Engineer at WeMaintain, you will:

• Diagnose and repair mechanical/electrical faults
