Full job descriptionJoin a workshop team where engineers stay for 20-30 years.
We’re recruiting for a Senior Workshop Service Technician to join Karcher’s long-standing Banbury workshop team, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy what they do, know their craft and get stuck in.
This isn’t a high-pressure, micromanaged environment. It’s a professional, hands-on workshop where everyone pulls together, there’s good banter, people support each other and experienced engineers take pride in doing a great job.
You’ll work on a varied range of industrial cleaning equipment - from commercial pressure washers and scrubber dryers through to larger specialist cleaning machinery - diagnosing faults, servicing, repairing and preparing equipment to a high standard.
This role would suit someone from a mechanical, plant, vehicle, agricultural, FLT, powered access or general engineering background who enjoys fault finding, repairs and being part of a close-knit technical team.
The Role of Senior Workshop Technician
*Diagnose, service, maintain and repair Karcher industrial cleaning equipment and specialist machinery
*Carry out fault finding across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
*Conduct pre-delivery inspections (PDI’s) and machine preparation
*Replace components, complete repairs and maintain high workshop standards
*Produce accurate repair documentation and cost estimates using service systems
*Support field engineers and fellow workshop technicians where required
*Ensure tools, equipment and working practices meet safety and quality standards
*Work methodically and follow service processes to deliver a high standard of workmanship

We’re open to transferable backgrounds and would love to hear from people with experience such as:
Workshop Mechanic | Garage Mechanic / Vehicle Technician | FLT Engineer / Forklift Technician | Plant, Agricultural or Powered Access Engineer | Diesel Technician | Workshop Engineer | Service Technician | Maintenance Engineer
You’ll ideally bring:
*Strong mechanical fault-finding skills
*Workshop-based service, repair or maintenance experience
*Good understanding of engines, hydraulics, electrics/electronics, batteries and mechanical systems
*A practical, hands-on mindset and pride in quality workmanship
*A methodical approach and willingness to learn
*Good team fit - someone who enjoys being part of a supportive workshop environment
What’s in it for you?
*Up to £41,110 DOE plus an excellent benefits package, including:
*25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
*Pension, health plan, sick pay and critical illness cover
*End of year discretionary bonus
*Staff discounts and social events
*Ongoing training and career development
*Stable Monday-Friday workshop role (8:30am-5:00pm)
*A genuinely supportive, long-standing team environment
If you enjoy fault finding, like variety, take pride in quality workmanship and want to be part of a team where people genuinely stay - we’d love to hear from you.
