Location: Aberdeen (with UK, offshore, and international travel as required)
We are now looking for a Field Service & Commissioning Engineer based out of Aberdeen to support a growing service operation. This role is not purely commissioning-based and will suit someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working across service, maintenance, upgrades, life extension, and commissioning activities.
The Role
Based in Aberdeen, you will deliver a full range of field and workshop-based engineering services, supporting customers across the UK, overseas, offshore, and marine sectors.
Your primary responsibility is the safe execution of service-related projects, ensuring the delivery of an exceptional customer experience.
The role includes:
- Workshop-based preparation, testing, and refurbishment work
- On-site service, maintenance, and upgrades
- Offshore and marine mobilisations where required
- Commissioning of installed switchgear as part of wider service activities
No two weeks look the same. This is a hands‑on, technically engaging role in a fast‑paced environment where mindset matters as much as skillset.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for, but not limited to:
- Delivering service, maintenance, upgrade, life extension, and commissioning activities on switchgear and ancillary equipment
- Responding to technical enquiries from existing customers and providing practical, professional support
- Undertaking pre-mobilisation activities including risk assessments, method statements, and technical planning
- Promoting and actively contributing to a strong Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality culture on‑site and within the business
- Fault finding, breakdown investigation, and repair of switchgear systems
- Protection relay testing, upgrades and associated reporting
- Workshop‑based service, inspection, and preparation activities
- Leading safely on‑site when working with subcontractors or client teams
- Completing technical reports, service documentation, and expense submissions accurately and on time
- Participating in out‑of‑hours call‑out activities when required
The employer reserves the right to vary duties in line with operational requirements.
Communication & Professionalism
You will regularly interface with customers, project teams and internal departments. A professional manner, clear communication and a genuine commitment to customer care are essential. You will represent the organisation across the UK and internationally, often in high‑risk or business‑critical environments.
Competencies
- Strong practical problem‑solving ability
- Calm and effective decision‑making under pressure
- Commitment to outstanding customer service
- Ability to manage a varied and changing workload
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Systematic, safety‑focused approach to engineering tasks

Essential / Strongly Preferred:
- Time‑served electrical apprenticeship or equivalent experience
