Job Description
Opportunity to Join a High-Impact, Future-Focused Role at Edinburgh Airport!
On behalf of our client, Edinburgh Airport, we are hiring a Senior Technician to support the leadership and delivery of a safe, efficient, and forward-thinking fleet operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Scotland’s busiest airport at a critical time of innovation, decarbonisation, and growth.
If you're passionate about vehicle technology, experienced in fleet operations, and ready to step into a role where you’ll make a real difference — we want to hear from you.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another maintenance role. As Senior Technician, you’ll be a key player in a major fleet transformation — helping shift the airport’s vehicle fleet to electric while ensuring operational excellence. You’ll work with a wide range of vehicles and equipment, lead maintenance activities, and mentor apprentices, all within a dynamic, safety-driven environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Vehicle Maintenance & Repair: Diagnose, maintain, and repair a wide variety of airport vehicles — from shuttles to heavy equipment — ensuring all work meets compliance and safety standards.
Team Leadership: Mentor and support apprentices and junior technicians, sharing your technical expertise and helping to shape the next generation of talent.
Safety & Compliance: Drive a proactive safety culture, conduct regular inspections, and maintain records in line with regulations and internal standards.
Fleet Transformation: Support the airport’s shift toward electric vehicles, helping introduce new technologies and practices aligned with sustainability goals.
Resource Management: Oversee parts and tools inventory, liaise with suppliers, and support efficient, cost-effective operations.
Operational Support: Collaborate with airport operations to ensure the fleet is ready, reliable, and aligned with daily airport needs.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who’s not only technically strong but also takes pride in leading, mentoring, and solving problems in a high-performance environment.
Must-Have Qualifications & Experience
NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
At least 5 years’ experience as a technician, with 2+ years in a senior or supervisory role
Broad experience across diagnostics, repair, and preventative maintenance
Proficient with diagnostic tools and repair software
Valid UK driving licence
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
A strong commitment to safety, compliance, and team collaboration
Experience with EV fleet transition or sustainability-focused fleet strategies
Understanding of lean or continuous improvement methodologies
What’s in It for You
This role offers the chance to work in one of Scotland’s most critical transport hubs, where no two days are the same. You’ll be joining a collaborative, safety-first team that’s passionate about doing things right — and doing them better.
Benefits Include:
Competitive salary + on-call/snow call allowances
Up to 7% employer pension contributions
256 hours holiday (increasing with service)
Annual discretionary bonus
Private healthcare (after 1 year)
Free on-site parking, including when you travel
Access to Employee Assistance Programme and occupational health services
A full range of employee benefits available
