About this Role
Are you a Mobile Engineer, HGV Technician, Plant Engineer or Forklift Engineer looking for a field based role where you can put your mechanical skills to good use? As a Mobile Engineer with Dawsongroup EMC, you will maintain and repair our specialist assets in the field, responding to breakdowns and servicing requirements while helping keep our customers operational.

Use diagnostic equipment to identify faults across hydraulic, pneumatic, diesel and electrical systems.
Manage your own workload and vehicle stock, completing electronic job records accurately and on time.
Work closely with colleagues, supervisors and our service desk while maintaining a safety first approach.
About You
Your background could be in HGVs, plant, forklifts or a similar mechanical environment, what matters is that you can bring practical experience of hydraulics, pneumatics and gearboxes to the role. You will be comfortable working independently in a field environment, prioritising your workload and taking pride in getting repairs right first time.
Previous hands on experience working with hydraulic, pneumatic and gearbox systems on HGV, plant or forklift equipment.
A recognised Plant or HGV Technician qualification, with NVQ Level 3 identified within the job specification.
Experience diagnosing and repairing diesel engines, alongside electrical troubleshooting skills.
