We’re currently looking for Lift Engineer Improver to join our team in East Anglia, covering the Cambridge area. For this role, you’ll need to be located in or near Cambridge to support the area effectively. What’s an Improver? Someone with the right attitude, some hands-on or technical foundation, and the drive to learn - but who isn’t fully qualified yet.

Spending your time out on site, you’ll shadow service routes, assist with fault finding, and gradually take on hands-on maintenance tasks, learning how to work with different lift types, control systems, and components. You’ll help prepare tools and equipment, complete basic service documentation, and play a key role in keeping systems running safely and efficiently. This is a development-focused role where you’ll build strong technical skills, gain a solid understanding of industry safety standards, and work towards your NVQ3 in Lift Engineering, with a clear pathway to becoming a fully qualified, independent engineer. What we’re looking for: Some experience within the lift industry or a relevant engineering background A willingness to learn and develop within a hands-on role Full UK driving licence What we offer: Competitive salary depending on experience Company van and fuel card, plus parking apps for business use Paid travel and overtime 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays + 1 volunteering day In addition, you’ll have access to a wide range of flexible benefits, including dental insurance, private medical cover, GymFlex membership, and exclusive KONE discounts – allowing you to tailor your package to suit your lifestyle.
