Locomotive Technician
Posted a week ago by Maintech Recruitment
Elevate your career trajectory with a pivotal role at a bustling depot in Peterborough, seeking a dedicated Locomotive Technician to join a dynamic team. This position is not merely a chance; it is a gateway to harness your technical prowess within a supportive and thriving environment.
The role is ideal for individuals with a background in the rail industry, yet it is equally accessible to those with a wealth of transferable skills. Ex-military personnel, especially those from the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), or professionals with a history of maintaining large-scale vehicles such as HGVs, buses, or trams, will find this role aligns with their expertise.
As a Locomotive Technician, your responsibilities will be diverse and engaging. The depot is experiencing a surge in activity, necessitating a proactive mindset to manage the commercial freight train fleet. Your remit will include comprehensive refurbishment, routine servicing, and conducting thorough examinations to ensure operational excellence.
The role offers a structured shift pattern over a 5-week cycle, balancing early and late shifts for four weeks, followed by a weekend-focused schedule. This pattern allows for predictability and planning, ensuring a work-life balance that respects personal time and commitments.
In return for your commitment, the depot provides a competitive salary package, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to work within a company that values its employees. The team is known for its camaraderie and collective drive to achieve excellence, making it an ideal environment for those who thrive in collaborative settings.
Candidates are expected to possess strong technical skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to work autonomously when required. A background in mechanical or electrical engineering is advantageous, as is a proactive approach to problem-solving and maintenance.
If you are ready to steer your career on an exciting new track, this role promises to deliver both professional satisfaction and personal growth. Take the next step and join a team where your skills will be valued and your contributions recognised.
