Job Description

Escalator Engineer- Day Jobs in Greater London at Stannah - Join Our Team!

 

Salary : Up to £75,000 OTE ( based on skills and experience level) + Paid Door-to-Door + Company Van.

Join Stannah as an Escalator Engineer working across Greater London's busiest rail and transport hubs, including Gatwick and Stansted stations.

Hours: 7:00 – 19:00, 4 on 4 off (12-hour shifts with 45-minute unpaid break).

You’ll be responsible for maintaining and repairing a range of high-profile escalator systems, ensuring safe, reliable operation across your London patch.

You will be servicing, maintaining and repairing a wide range of escalators and moving walkways across major rail and underground sites.

The work is varied, technical and fast-paced, requiring strong fault-finding skills across both mechanical and electrical systems.

Your patch will cover all of Greater London, with additional work at Gatwick Airport station and Stansted Airport station. The role is focused on transport infrastructure, meaning you will be working in high-profile, safety-critical environments but without the need for wide regional travel.
