Field Engineer
Linde Material Handling
Date: 7 hours ago
City: Castleford
Contract type: Full time
Linde Material Handling is one of the world's leading manufacturers of forklift trucks and warehouse equipment. We operate in over 100 countries worldwide and have around 13,000 people working for the brand. A worldwide network of more than 8,500 service technicians ensures maximum availability of Linde trucks and solutions, and based on its worldwide logistics network.
We are currently looking for a Field Service Engineer to join our team in the DN area. The geographical patch to be covered is the DN9 postcode area.
We are looking for vehicle technicians or mechanical engineers who have experience working as a forklift technician, plant fitter, plant technician, vehicle technician or a similar type of role. Experience within plant equipment, powered access equipment, agricultural machinery, motor vehicles or industrial cleaners may make this role perfect for you!
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.
