About the Role
Fork East is growing — and we're looking for skilled engineers who take pride in their work.
You'll be working with premium machines (Linde forklifts, Kalmar reachstackers, &Terberg tugmasters), starting in our modern workshop in Framlingham. As you develop, there's a clear path into a mobile service role with a fully equipped van, fuel card, laptop and phone.
This is not just another job — it's a long-term career with a company that values quality over cutting corners.
What You'll Do
* Routine servicing and maintenance
* Breakdown repairs and diagnostics
* Thorough Examinations (LOLER/PUWER compliant)
* Work closely with the support team and product leaders
Pay & Benefits
* Base salary (Mon–Fri, 7:30am–5:00pm, holidays included): £46,481 per year
* With occasional overtime (e.g. 1 Saturday in 4, 7:30am-13:00pm): £48,143 per year
* Extra overtime available (time-and-a-half / double-time) if you want to boost your earnings further
* Door-to-door travel paid (once mobile)
* Company van, fuel card, laptop, phone (once mobile)
* Branded PPE
* 22 days annual leave + bank holidays
* Company pension
* Ongoing manufacturer training (Linde, Kalmar, Terberg, etc.)
* Clear career development pathway
"If you want to work hard, your earnings will reflect it."
Requirements
* Full UK Driving Licence (Essential)
* Good mechanical knowledge (hydraulics, electrics, or engines)
* Experience in forklifts, plant, HGV, or automotive repair is an advantage — but if you're strong mechanically and willing to learn, we'll train you.
* Health & Safety awareness
* Ability to work independently and as part of a close-knit team
