• Use manufacturer systems for diagnostics, parts ordering, and service records
• Ensure all equipment is tested and returned to a high standard
• Keep the workshop clean, organised, and safe at all times

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience with small engines or outdoor power equipment (essential)
• Solid understanding of 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine mechanics
• Ability to diagnose faults independently and work efficiently
• Familiarity with brands such as Husqvarna, Stihl, Honda or Echo (an advantage)
• Good attention to detail and a pride in quality workmanship
• Reliable, punctual, and a team player

What's on Offer

• Permanent, full-time role with genuine job stability
• Competitive salary based on your experience
• Monday to Friday only - no weekends
• Work with premium, well-known equipment brands
• Join a long-established, family-run business with a loyal customer base
