  • Occasional installation work
  • Working on a range of automatic door equipment across commercial sites
  • Fault finding and diagnostics

  • Industry-specific tools provided
  • 28 days holiday + birthday off - additional 2 days annual leave for every year with the business (up to 30 + BH) 
  • £500 signing bonus after successful completion of probation (6 months)
  • £1,000 loyalty bonus after 12 months
  • Company pension following probation

Career Progression

One of the standout aspects of this opportunity is the long-term progression available. As the business continues to grow, there will be opportunities to:

  • Progress into leadership or management roles
  • Lead projects and teams
  • Support with training and mentoring future engineers
  • Play a key role in shaping the future growth of the company

You’ll work closely with an experienced director who genuinely values engineers, supports career progression, and understands the importance of work-life balance and family commitments.

If you’re looking to join a company where you’ll be respected, supported and have the opportunity to grow with the business long term, we’d love to hear from you.
