Launch your engineering career with Stiltz as a Trainee homelift Engineer.
Stiltz is a growing global company investing in the next generation of field service engineers. As a trainee homelift Engineer, you’ll bring electro‑mechanical skills or a similar hands‑on technical background, along with the drive to develop your capabilities in a field‑based engineering role.

No two days are the same …
In this field-based engineering role, you’ll be working as part of a 2-person team, assisting a qualified homelift Engineer. One day you could be installing a new Stiltz homelift, and the next helping a customer get back up and running.
As a Trainee homelift Engineer, you’ll work closely with an experienced homelift Engineer travelling across the North of England and Scotland, while being fully supported by a collaborative engineering team that’s committed to your development and success.

Experience you might already have:
