Technical jobs in United Kingdom

This is a key technical role that bridges engineering expertise with operational delivery, ensuring that platform lift projects are planned, executed, and completed to the highest safety and quality standards.

Gartec started in 1994 and has been at the forefront of the platform lift industry. We are the UK’s leading supplier and installer of platform lifts and continue to provide extensive Platform Lift knowledge, excellent customer service and high-quality products within the commercial, trade and home sectors. Focusing on full turnkey solutions, we offer advice on compliance, accessibility, dimensions, costs, sustainability, design, installation and after-care.

We’re seeking a technically strong, hands‑on professional to support the planning and successful delivery of our platform lift projects. In this role, you’ll coordinate day-to‑day installation activities, prepare and review RAMS, assist with workload planning, and maintain close communication with engineers and contractors. You’ll also provide on-site technical support to ensure every project is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

You will ideally bring proven experience working with lifts—such as elevators, access lifts, inclined lifts, or vertical platform lifts—alongside excellent organisational and communication skills. Confidence using project‑tracking software and digital reporting tools is essential, as is a collaborative approach and a strong client‑focused mindset.

A full UK driving licence and the flexibility to travel are required. SSSTS/SMSTS Health & Safety qualifications or previous supervisory experience are a valuable advantage, along with experience coordinating subcontractors and liaising with building contractors on active sites. Prior experience in a supervisory or deputy role within lift engineering or construction environments is beneficial, and a Skilled (Blue) CSCS card—or the qualifications needed to obtain one—is also desirable.
