Working from a modern workshop, you'll maintain, diagnose and repair a diverse fleet of specialist airport vehicles and equipment, while also responding to occasional breakdowns across the airport site.

• Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
• Aircraft tugs
• Baggage trolleys
• Electric vehicles
• Vans
• HGVs
• Minibuses
• Airport buses
• Specialist airport vehicles

This role offers far more variety than a traditional commercial workshop, with many vehicles incorporating hydraulic systems and specialist equipment.

We’re interested in engineers with strong mechanical skills and, most importantly, the right attitude.

You’ll ideally have experience working on:

• HGVs
• PSV or bus fleets
• Plant or agricultural equipment
• Military vehicles
• Ground Support Equipment
• Heavy mechanical or hydraulic systems

Engineers from military backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply, especially those with experience maintaining hydraulic or specialist mechanical equipment.

• Permanent position with a stable employer
• Fixed competitive salary
• Paid overtime at time and a half
• Excellent training on specialist airport vehicles
• Supportive management and experienced engineering team
• Opportunity to broaden your technical skills across a highly varied fleet

You’ll be joining a team of engineers who work closely together to keep airport operations running safely and efficiently. Previous airport experience isn’t essential; full support will be provided while you learn the fleet and operating environment.

• Reliability
• Practical problem-solving
• Teamwork
• A willingness to learn
• Calmness under pressure

As this is an airside role, successful applicants must be able to obtain an Airport Airside Pass, which includes:

• A five-year employment history
• No unexplained gaps in employment
• Standard airport security and background checks

This recruitment forms part of a long-term investment in strengthening the engineering team. You’ll be joining a stable workshop with experienced leadership, excellent training and the opportunity to work on one of the most varied vehicle fleets in the UK.

If you’re looking for a role that offers technical variety, long-term stability and the chance to develop specialist engineering skills, we’d love to hear from you.
