Location: East London – E1, E2, E6, E7, E13, E15, E16 and RM1
Salary: From £45,000, with flexibility for the right person
Hours: Monday to Friday, on your route from 8.00am. No night call-outs.

Your own East London service route
Our client is an established lift company looking for an NVQ Level 3 Lift Engineer to take on a service and call-out route of around 74 units across East London.
You start your day at your first job, not at a depot. There's no daily trip into the office, only the occasional visit to collect something or join a team meeting. You have a company van, your own route list, and your evenings free.
- Planned servicing and maintenance across your route, monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly
- Attend breakdowns on your units as first responder
- Fault-find, diagnose and repair, aiming to fix it first time and avoid return calls
- Read wiring and lift drawings to trace faults
- Complete your full route each month and keep accurate service records
- Cover the occasional out-of-area warranty service (Hatfield, Luton, Gerrards Cross, Bishop's Stortford). These come from completed projects with a 12-month warranty, so they are rarely long term.
- NVQ Level 3 in Lift Engineering
- Strong lift servicing and maintenance experience
- Proven fault-finding skills, able to deal with breakdowns and reactive work as first attendance
- Able to read any lift drawing and fault-find from it
- Full UK driving licence (this is a driving route)
- Able to plan and complete a full monthly route on your own
- Hands-on experience with DAC, DLC, Thames Valley, Lester, Orona, Otis or Kone equipment
- Experience on passenger and platform lifts, plus some goods lifts
- Living within easy reach of East London (E postcodes or Romford/RM)
- A track record of keeping a service route fully up to date each month
What's in it for you
From £45,000, with flexibility for the right person. Agreed overtime is paid at overtime rate on top.
Company van, phone and uniform provided. Your tools and kit travel with you, not on a bus.
25 days' annual leave plus public holidays, and a company pension.
Start on your route, not at the office. You're on site from 8.00am, with no daily depot run.
No night call-outs. This route has no night call requirement, so your evenings stay yours.
A route list you can plan around. Around 74 units across East London: 70 visits in September, 73 in October and 68 in November. Your own job list shows exactly which units are on monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly visits.

Mostly passenger and platform lifts, with a small number of goods lifts.
You own the outcome. As the first engineer to attend a breakdown on your units, you fix the fault properly and see the result.
High standards you can be proud of. Routes are completed every month. Services are only carried over for genuine, unforeseen reasons, and the client monitors it closely.
A quick, straightforward hiring process. First a phone call with the hiring manager, then a meeting or call with the Tech Repair Manager or Project Manager. You get feedback within 24 hours of each interview.
