Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
You’ll ideally have previous engineering experience working with powered access equipment and be confident fault-finding across electrical and hydraulic systems.
Experience working with manufacturers such as Niftylift, Skyjack, Genie, and JLG would be particularly useful.
