Engineer your way to a brighter future with Crane Services
Crane Services Ltd is one of the UK’s leading overhead lifting solutions businesses specialising in the design of bespoke lifting equipment, coupled with state of the art electronic control systems to achieve improved lifting safety, functionality and process times for our customers. With a track record that spans over 50 years, we are renowned for our service and innovative approach.
Owing to business growth, we are now looking to appoint a talented and highly skilled Electrical Engineer to join our expanding team.
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will be involved in the manufacture, installation, modification and fault finding of electrical control systems on a variety of overhead cranes, hoists and other material handling equipment.
As an electrical engineer you would be involved in the entire process of the project, from conceptual design, through manufacture of panels and hardware, to the installation and commissioning on site.
Whilst the position is largely an electrical role, a good understanding of mechanical engineering is an essential requirement, as once on site you will need to call upon your skill base to solve problems autonomously.

We also manufacture bespoke electrical panels and control systems, incorporating Inverters, Logic relays and PLC’s, Encoder feedback and positioning systems, overload systems and condition monitoring systems.
In addition to the above, we have a number of regular service customers who rely on us for breakdown cover and the service and repairs of their existing cranes, whilst this is not a frequent occurrence it is a vital part of the role.
The ideal candidate will possess some or all of the following qualities and qualifications:
- A proven track record in a similar role for a lifting equipment company/manufacturer
- A time served or qualified electrical engineer
- Some knowledge of mechanical engineering
- Experience with lifting equipment and their control systems and types
- Practical knowledge of Inverters, PLC’s, Radio controls and electrics
- A good natural communicator with excellent interpersonal qualities

- A good problem solver, who can think their way around obstacles
- An investigative nature and a general interest in engineering and its applications
- A keenness to continue training on new equipment and legislation
- A flexible approach to working out of hours, site work, and overnight stays etc.
