Lift Tester

Take your lift career to the next level

Are you an experienced Lift Tester looking for your next opportunity?

At KONE, we’re looking for a skilled Lift Staff Tester to join our team, working across a range of lift installations and projects and playing a critical role in ensuring our equipment is safe, compliant and ready to be handed over to our customers.

This is an opportunity to bring your technical expertise to a global organisation while continuing to develop your career, work with modern lift technology and become part of a team that puts safety, quality and collaboration first.

What will you be doing?

As a Lift Staff Tester, you’ll take responsibility for the testing and commissioning of newly installed and modernised lift equipment.

Your role will include:

• Completing final safety checks and ensuring equipment is ready for handover

• Identifying, diagnosing and resolving technical issues during the testing process

• Working closely with installation teams, supervisors and project colleagues to resolve defects efficiently

• Completing testing documentation and ensuring accurate records are maintained

• Supporting the delivery of projects to the required safety, quality and programme standards

• Providing technical guidance and sharing your expertise with colleagues

• Ensuring all work is carried out in accordance with KONE's health and safety procedures

• Testing and commissioning lifts in line with KONE procedures.

​

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone with strong technical lift knowledge who takes pride in delivering work to a high standard.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience testing and commissioning lifts

• A strong technical understanding of lift systems, electrical systems and associated equipment

• Relevant lift engineering qualifications, ideally NVQ Level 4 or equivalent

• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills

• A thorough understanding of lift safety and compliance requirements

• The confidence to work independently and make technical decisions

• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with different teams

• A full UK driving licence

​

Experience working across different lift manufacturers or technologies would be an advantage.

Why this role?

Testing sits at a critical point in every lift project. You'll be the person helping ensure that the equipment our customers receive meets the standards they expect from KONE.

You'll work with different teams, solve complex technical challenges and see projects through to their final stages — making this a great opportunity for an experienced lift professional who wants technical responsibility, variety and career progression.
