Senior Workshop Technician

Description:

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, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy what they do, know their craft and get stuck in.

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.
