Job description

Your main responsibilities

As an Apprentice Lift or Escalator Engineer, you will learn through a mix of hands-on site work and structured off-the-job study as part of a 42-month apprenticeship programme. The role provides exposure across installation, servicing, and maintenance, allowing you to build a well-rounded engineering skillset.

With support from qualified engineers and training providers, you will:

  • Support the installation of passenger and goods lifts or escalators on live construction sites
  • Learn how to assemble mechanical components, wiring, and control systems in line with technical drawings and installation instructions
  • Use hand tools, power tools, and specialist lifting equipment safely and correctly
  • Assist with testing, adjustments, and final safety checks prior to handover
  • Work within lift shafts, machine rooms, and at height when required
  • Travel to multiple sites across Birmingham and surrounding areas
  • Complete classroom-based learning, assessments, and assignments as part of your apprenticeship
  • Apply what you learn in training directly to real engineering work on site
  • Follow all health and safety procedures at all times


This role is split between site-based practical experience and formal technical study, giving you both real-world skills and recognised qualifications.

What you bring

  • A genuine interest in mechanical or electrical engineering
  • Willingness to learn through both hands-on work and structured study
  • A practical mindset with the ability to follow technical instructions
  • Reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic
  • Confidence working on construction sites and in industrial environments
  • Physical capability to carry out manual tasks and site-based work
  • Basic IT skills to support learning, training systems, and reporting

Other requirements

  • Minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above, including Maths and English
  • Full UK driving licence or commitment to achieve one within 12 months
  • Right to work in the UK


No previous lift or escalator experience is required. We are looking for the right attitude, commitment, and willingness to learn.

  • Exposure to Service and Maintenance, New Installations, Modernisation, Repairs and Escalators
  • Ongoing mentoring from experienced Schindler engineers
  • Clear progression into a qualified Engineer role on successful completion
  • Long-term career opportunities within a global engineering organisation
  • Competitive apprentice salary and benefits package
