About the role
The Role
GAP Lifting Hire & Sales offers one of the largest ranges of lifting equipment and accessories in the industry. From small shackles and slings to material lifts and aluminium gantries, the division has everything our customers need for lifting any size of load.

This will include how to service and maintain lifting equipment to a high standard, diagnosing and repairing faults, updating service records, completing test certificates and keeping the workshop area clean and tidy.
You will work alongside our experienced Lifting Engineers and once you have successfully completed your initial training, you will go on to complete industry standard LEEA qualifications to become a fully qualified Lifting Engineer.

• A customer-focussed approach to their work and strong attention to detail
• Full UK Drivers Licence is essential
• As long as you have the drive to build a career and the enthusiasm to learn, we can help with the rest!
