Trainee Service Technician

Trainee Service Technician
Haydock, St Helens

About Us

Are you ready to embark on a career with a company that places both its employees and customers at the heart of everything they do? If you're a motivated, customer-focused individual with a clean driving licence and a can-do attitude, we want to hear from you.

You’ll fit in well with us at Medstrom, where we have disrupted the market by providing proven and well-evidenced products and services to our busy customers, helping to make a real difference to both their workload and crucially their patients’ outcomes.

Established in 2010, Medstrom has grown substantially by being patient focused to become the organisation we are today, whilst maintaining an open culture and ethos. In 2022, Medstrom became an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), unlike any other company in the industry. This allows each employee to have a vested interest in the company, where we can all contribute to and share in the company’s success.

We are looking for a dedicated Trainee Service Technician to work from our new Haydock service centre and cover our customers in the Wigan area.

The Benefits

- Competitive basic salary of £22,500, with an estimated potential earning of approx. £26,000+ with on-call payments
- Additional on-call payments
- Contributory pension scheme
- 33 days’ holiday inclusive of Bank Holidays
- Discounts and cashback on shopping, supermarkets and holidays as part of our rewards scheme
- Salary Sacrifice Schemes including Cycle to Work
- Full induction with great training and support from dedicated team members
- Receive a treat on your birthday
- Be a part of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) and the associated benefits of having a stake in the company

The Role

On completion of your training as a Trainee Service Technician, you’ll be tasked with ensuring the effective, timely and efficient delivery of products to customer sites, first line fault service visits and repairs against specific service level agreements. You will also undertake planned preventative maintenance activities, field modifications and provide support to customers for the products under contract with Medstrom. All activities are recorded via our job management system.

Main responsibilities of the role:

- Deliver clean, ready-to-use products to and around customer sites
- Collect products after use and return to the service location (this could be Leyland for a short time) for decontamination
- Disinfect, function check, repair and electrical-safety test products
- Complete records of testing, delivery and collection
- Maintain available product stock and spare parts inventory
- Complete product modifications when required
- Provide product demonstrations and basic training to staff
- Maintain a clean and tidy work environment

Hours of work: 37.5 per week working Monday to Friday 8.30am – 4.30pm.

You will also be required to participate in an out of hours on-call rota (once trained) to support the team and the customers, which covers one in three weekends (with time off in the week). This is subject to additional on-call payments.

- Mechanical or electrical background desirable, but not essential as full training will be provided
