Our client, an established engineering business with more than 30 years' experience, is expanding its team and is looking for a number of Trainee Lift Engineers across London, the Home Counties and surrounding areas. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates with a solid mechanical or engineering background who want to develop specialist skills within the lift industry.

If you're accustomed to fault-finding, maintaining equipment, following technical procedures, working independently and taking responsibility for getting the job done properly, many of your existing skills will transfer well into this role.

Once trained and competent, you'll take responsibility for your own geographical area, giving you considerable independence and ownership of your workload. This isn't simply a trainee position; it's an opportunity to build a long-term engineering career with genuine scope to progress into more senior positions.

What We're Looking For: We're interested in people with the right technical foundations, attitude and willingness to learn. Ideally, you'll have:

• A strong mechanical or engineering background
• Electrical knowledge or experience advantageous but not essential
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving abilities
• The confidence to work independently as well as part of a team
• A strong understanding of workplace Health & Safety
• The ability to work towards targets without compromising standards
• Good attention to detail, including completing documentation accurately
• A proactive, self-motivated approach to your work
• A flexible attitude and genuine enthusiasm for developing your technical skills

Location: The company is recruiting across a wide geographical area and is interested in candidates based in or around: Your location will help determine the geographical area you ultimately cover once trained.

• Electric company car scheme with no personal tax implication
• Private medical healthcare
• 25 days' annual leave + Bank Holidays
• Company pension - 4% employer / 4% employee contribution

No previous lift industry experience is required; your engineering ability, attitude and willingness to learn are what matters.
