Repairs Engineer

North East – Candidates can be based anywhere between Newcastle and Leeds

Great brands have a great story. Ours is legendary.

In 1854, Elisha Otis travelled to the New York World's Fair to promote his new invention. Standing high above the crowd on a platform elevator, he ordered the retaining rope cut. The crowd cried out. His safety brake held. And in that moment, one man changed the world's perspective on what's possible, sending it rising up.
