• Helping customers understand how to get the best out of their equipment

• Experience as a Service or Maintenance Engineer
• A solid electromechanical background
• Electrical understanding – fault finding, 3‑phase, voltages, wiring, PLCs, motors, drives, etc.
• Mechanical skills – e.g. replacing drive systems, bearings, seals, conveyors, automated equipment, etc.
• Experience in logistics, automation, automated storage, pallet handling, FMCG, manufacturing or similar industries is desirable

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and working with modern technology – with the bonus of specialist European training and a realistic OTE above £50k.
