We Are Currently Looking for a Team Leader
We are currently looking for a Team Leader to join our team in the Castleford area. The geographical patch to be covered is the BD, HD, HX, LS, WF postcode area.
Role Description
We are looking for a team leader to ensure the day-to-day efficient running of the engineering team within the designated area to facilitate a high-quality customer experience. You will be expected to have experience in any of the following disciplines: vehicle technician or mechanical engineer who has experience working with forklift trucks, a plant fitter, plant technician, vehicle technician or a similar type of role.
Working with everything from small pallet trucks, through to IC trucks, VNA trucks and automated trucks, you will be required to find, diagnose, and rectify faults, and undertake preventative maintenance on Linde forklifts and other material handling equipment at our customer sites.
A Message from One Engineer to Another
Linde works well for me because the hours suit my lifestyle and I have a better home/work life balance. In my previous role I often worked shifts which included weekends/nights, this made making plans with family difficult. Annual leave was challenging to take unless booked a year in advance and working bank holidays was a requirement. Great salary, paid door to door and the support of the team here is invaluable.
