Garage Equipment Service Engineer – Central Scotland (with UK Travel)
About the Role
We’re recruiting for an efficient and reliable Garage Equipment Service Engineer based in the Central belt of Scotland, with travel to Arnold Clark branches across the UK.
As a Garage Equipment Engineer/Surveyor, you’ll work across multiple UK sites, specialising in hydraulic and pneumatic garage equipment. Your responsibilities will span both reactive (breakdown) and planned maintenance work, requiring travel, occasional overnight stays, and the ability to work independently.
This role is ideal for candidates with experience in a field-based engineering environment, particularly those familiar with hydraulics and pneumatics in mechanical systems. You should thrive on autonomy, flexibility, and collaboration within a challenging yet rewarding team.
Key Duties
-
Preventative and Reactive Maintenance:
- Conduct routine servicing and repairs on customer-site equipment, including vehicle lifts, compressors, and MOT systems.
- Carry out fault diagnosis and repairs for breakdowns, ensuring equipment is restored to optimum functionality.
- Perform scheduled preventative maintenance on ramps and garage infrastructure.
-
Paperwork and Organisation:
- Complete all necessary documentation accurately and within deadlines.
