Escalator Engineer Operations · London in City of London

• 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
