Company: YP Recruitment

Posted: May 1st, 2026
This is a hands‑on field service role with a well-established employer in the drives and power electronics space, based out of Leeds with travel across Yorkshire and the surrounding region. The focus is on ABB variable speed drives, so existing ABB experience is ideal, but if you've been servicing drives from Siemens, Schneider, Danfoss, or similar and fancy specialising, that's worth a conversation too.
Day to day, you'll be out on customer sites installing and commissioning VSD inverters, carrying out planned maintenance, and diagnosing faults under pressure when things go wrong. You'll also support customers remotely with programming, parameter setup, and performance optimisation. There's a documentation side too, service reports, job records, parts tracking, but the core of the role is technical, practical, and customer‑facing.
The non‑negotiables are a solid grounding in electrical engineering (degree or HNC/HND level), proven experience working with inverters or drives, and the ability to read schematics and methodically fault‑find. You'll need a full UK driving licence and genuine comfort with being out on the road. Beyond that, they want someone who communicates well with customers, takes ownership of jobs from start to finish, and keeps themselves current with product developments. Relevant industry certifications (18th Edition, CompEx, or similar) would strengthen your application.
