Senior Workshop Technician

Join a workshop team where engineers stay for 20-30 years.

We're recruiting for a Senior Workshop Service Technician to join Karcher's long-standing Banbury workshop team, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy what they do, know their craft and get stuck in.

This isn't a high-pressure, micromanaged environment. It's a professional, hands-on workshop where everyone pulls together, there's good banter, people support each other and experienced engineers take pride in doing a great job.

You'll work on a varied range of industrial cleaning equipment - from commercial pressure washers and scrubber dryers through to larger specialist cleaning machinery - diagnosing faults, servicing, repairing and preparing equipment to a high standard.

This role would suit someone from a mechanical, plant, vehicle, agricultural, FLT, powered access or general engineering background who enjoys fault finding, repairs and being part of a close-knit technical team.

The Role of Senior Workshop Technician

• Diagnose, service, maintain and repair Karcher industrial cleaning equipment and specialist machinery
• Carry out fault finding across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Conduct pre-delivery inspections (PDI's) and machine preparation
• Replace components, complete repairs and maintain high workshop standards
• Produce accurate repair documentation and cost estimates using service systems
• Support field engineers and fellow workshop technicians where required
• Ensure tools, equipment and working practices meet safety and quality standards
• Work methodically and follow service processes to deliver a high standard of workmanship

What We're Looking For

We're open to transferable backgrounds and would love to hear from people with experience such as:

Workshop Mechanic | Garage Mechanic / Vehicle Technician | FLT Engineer / Forklift Technician | Plant, Agricultural or Powered Access Engineer | Diesel Technician | Workshop Engineer | Service Technician | Maintenance Engineer

You'll ideally bring:

• Strong mechanical fault-finding skills
• Workshop-based service, repair or maintenance experience
• Good understanding of engines, hydraulics, electrics/electronics, batteries and mechanical systems
• A practical, hands-on mindset and pride in quality workmanship
• A methodical approach and willingness to learn
• Good team fit - someone who enjoys being part of a supportive workshop environment

What's in it for you?

• Up to £41,110 DOE plus an excellent benefits package, including:
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Pension, health plan, sick pay and critical illness cover
• End of year discretionary bonus
• Staff discounts and social events
• Ongoing training and career development
• Stable Monday-Friday workshop role (8:30am-5:00pm)
• A genuinely supportive, long-standing team environment

If you enjoy fault finding, like variety, take pride in quality workmanship and want to be part of a team where people genuinely stay - we'd love to hear from you.
