Our sleek trams provide fast, convenient, and eco-friendly transportation solutions, reducing road congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and fostering a greener future for the West Midlands.

We are now recruiting for a Maintenance Technician to support our mission of providing a safe and reliable tram service, performing maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for our rolling stock assets.

Alternatively, you may have completed your level 3 qualification in the field of Engineering and looking for a career?  – we would love to speak to you!

As our Maintenance Technician, you will be responsible for:

• Performing preventative scheduled maintenance on the trams, working on systems incorporating mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment.
• Performing corrective maintenance on the trams, which includes troubleshooting, fault finding, and diagnosis using computer equipment and on-tram diagnostics systems, followed by repairs as appropriate.
• Supporting the testing, commissioning, and acceptance of new trams.
• Recording all work activities, including all preventative and corrective maintenance.
• Accurately reporting and recording details of fault finding and diagnosis.
• Supporting Rolling Stock Engineering Management in delivering the production plan, ensuring exam tasks are completed in a timely manner.
• Actively participating in ongoing continuous improvement activities.

To be successful in this role, it is essential that you have:

• Experience in undertaking preventative and corrective maintenance on high-value safety-critical equipment.
• Experience in finding and diagnosing faults in complex mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Experience in the use of computer-based diagnostic equipment.
