## Opportunity Alert: Become a Schindler Service Technician in Coventry

Are you a skilled individual with a passion for ensuring the smooth and safe operation of essential urban infrastructure? Schindler, a globally recognized leader in elevators and escalators, is seeking a dedicated Service Technician to join their esteemed team in Coventry, covering the Midlands & South West region, including South Wales.

This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to contribute to the quality of urban life by ensuring that billions of people can navigate their surroundings safely and efficiently every day. Schindler's commitment to innovation, safety, and high ethical standards makes this a compelling prospect for those looking to make a tangible impact.

What Makes This Role Stand Out?

• Meaningful Work: Directly contribute to enhancing the accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability of communities. Your work ensures that people can move freely and safely through buildings and transportation hubs.
• Industry Leader: Join a "Top Employer 2025" company with a rich legacy dating back to 1874. You'll be part of a company that is shaping the future of urban mobility.
• Career Development: Schindler emphasizes professional growth. You'll receive the support needed to develop your skills, access training, and build a rewarding and fulfilling career. The role encourages continuous learning through training sessions and staying updated on technical knowledge.
• Comprehensive Responsibilities: This permanent, full-time role involves a wide range of duties, from planned preventative maintenance and safety inspections to fault diagnosis and minor repairs. You'll gain extensive experience across various lift and escalator equipment.
• Autonomy and Problem-Solving: The position requires independent work, advanced problem-solving, and diagnostic skills. You'll have the opportunity to tackle technical challenges and restore equipment to optimal service.
• Supportive Culture: Schindler fosters a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Through local and global initiatives, they promote a culture of respect and collaboration.
• Competitive Benefits: Enjoy a generous holiday allowance, a competitive base salary, attractive standby rates, quarterly bonuses, a competitive pension scheme, and single-option private healthcare (BUPA).
• On-Call Contribution: Be part of an "on-call" rota, providing essential coverage for out-of-hours calls, maintenance, and repairs, demonstrating your commitment to maintaining service continuity.

Key Considerations for Aspiring Candidates:

• Experience is Valued: While experience in lift/escalator servicing, maintenance, or repairs is preferred, Schindler is willing to support candidates looking to work towards Schindler Certification Level 3.
• Technical Foundation: A minimum of NVQ Level 3 in Lift/Escalator maintenance or equivalent is required, along with strong electrical and mechanical knowledge, and the ability to work with multi-brand equipment.
• Problem-Solving Aptitude: This role demands strong analytical and fault-finding capabilities. You'll need to be adept at using technical manuals and diagnostic tools to identify and resolve issues effectively.
• Commitment to Safety: Adherence to stringent company safety and environmental policies is paramount. You will be expected to maintain a personal example of safe behaviour and contribute to company safety objectives.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: The nature of the role requires flexibility, the ability to work under pressure and to deadlines, and a proactive approach to independent work.
• Essential Skills: Good communication skills, manual dexterity for hands-on tasks, and strong administration and punctuality are crucial for success. A full UK driving license is also a requirement.

Schindler is committed to inclusion and diversity, creating equal opportunities for all. If you are ready to embark on a new journey and contribute to a company that "Elevates... Quality of urban life" and "Elevates... Your Career," then this Service Technician role could be the perfect fit for your professional ambitions.
