Job Description
Ready to turn your interest in engineering into real-world skills and make an impact?
Start your engineering career as an Apprentice Service Technician (UK, field-based) and learn on the job alongside experienced technicians. You’ll inspect, maintain and repair lifting equipment at customer sites, build practical fault-finding skills and use professional tools and test equipment. No two days are the same—you’ll work across different industries and locations while learning how to work safely, complete job records and communicate confidently with customers and your team. With structured training and ongoing support, you’ll have a clear path from apprentice to fully qualified technician in a safety-first workplace.
This could be for you if you enjoy solving problems, like working with your hands, show up ready to learn and can be counted on.
What you’ll be doing (with support and training)
• Work towards a Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship. In Year 1, you’ll attend a local college or training provider full-time for off-the-job training. In Years 2 and 3, you’ll move to day release and complete both on- and off-the-job training.
• Help carry out preventive maintenance and inspections, following service plans and safety standards.
• Learn how to find faults and support mechanical and electrical repairs.
• Complete checklists, service reports and parts records accurately and on time.
• Learn how to identify which spare parts are needed and suggest corrective actions.
• Communicate professionally with customers, with guidance from your mentor or lead technician.
• Follow all health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, risk assessments and safe working practices.
• Take part in training and keep developing your technical skills.
Your working week
• 39 hours per week, usually Monday to Friday
• Typical hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm, although this may vary depending on travel to and from customer sites
• Around 20% of your working week will be dedicated to off-the-job learning, including online learning, classroom sessions and workshop training
