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, a 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 will 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 (PDIs) 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
- 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 (8:30 am‑5:00 pm)
- A genuinely supportive, long‑standing team environment
We’re looking for someone who enjoys fault‑finding, likes variety, takes pride in quality workmanship and wants to be part of a team where people genuinely stay – we’d love to hear from you.
