Are you a hands‑on engineer who enjoys variety, travel, and solving problems across different types of industrial machinery? This multi‑skilled Service & Maintenance Engineer role offers a great mix of workshop‑based work and UK‑wide field service. Ideal for someone with a strong general engineering background and an appetite for technical challenge.
Working with a wide range of PLC‑controlled equipment, you’ll be involved in everything from pre‑commissioning and installation to maintenance, servicing, and occasional breakdown response. No two days are the same. You’ll work on diverse machinery across multiple sectors and develop a broad technical skill set along the way.
Key Responsibilities
- Service, maintain, and commission a wide range of industrial and process equipment
- Carry out pre‑commissioning and workshop preparation before equipment delivery
- Install and support new systems on customer sites across the UK
- Respond to occasional emergency breakdowns (with notice and overtime/TOIL)
- Promote spares and service contracts where appropriate (no sales targets)
- Attend training at manufacturer sites across Europe (mainly Italy)
Travel Expectations
- Typically 2‑3 nights away per week for Installation & Commissioning Projects (fully expensed)
- Any occasional weekend work will be paid overtime or time off in lieu
