Job Description
Lead Mechanical Technician
Morden, SW, London
£50,000. Monday to Friday 6am till 2pm
This isn’t a spotless lab or a polished office block.
This is a gas canister filling site. It smells like oil, metal, and machinery — because real work gets done here. You walk in and hear the hum of old kit doing its thing, kept alive by people who know what they’re doing. People like you.
But it’s not staying old. Over the next 5 years, we’re putting £5 million into this site — upgrading, modernising, and expanding. And we need someone on the ground who knows how to lead that change without losing the soul of the place.
That’s where you come in.
Why this job matters:
As the Maintenance Working Supervisor, you’ll be in charge of keeping our equipment — and our people — working safely and efficiently. That means hands-on fault finding and fixing, but also stepping back to lead, plan, and improve. You’ll be managing a team, owning the planned maintenance programme, and guiding the site through a period of serious investment and change.
And when it gets tough? You’ll get your hands dirty — side by side with your team in a properly kitted-out engineering workshop
