Service, maintenance, and repair of forklifts and materials handling equipment
Diagnose complex faults across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and electronic systems
Provide technical support and guidance to a team of 3-4 Field Engineers
Act as the escalation point for advanced diagnostics and recurring issues
Manage your own customer base, including servicing schedules and breakdowns
Support team performance, workload planning, and first-time fix rates 

The Person:

Senior Field Service Engineer or Technical Specialist background
Strong experience with electrical diagnostics and fault finding
Experience working on plant, forklifts, or similar equipment
