We’re currently growing our Escalator Installation and Modernisation team and are looking for talented Escalator Engineers to join us.
About the Role
As an Escalator Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering the installation and modernisation of escalators across a range of project sites, ensuring every unit is completed to the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance.
Working alongside a specialist team, you’ll play a key role in bringing new equipment into service and upgrading existing infrastructure across high-profile environments.

- A varied role where no two days are the same
- Exposure to some of the UK’s busiest and most interesting sites
- A supportive team culture backed by expertise from our Keighley hub
