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.
