Job Description
CHP Field Service Engineer - (M40 / M4 / M3 Corridor) £50,000 to £60,000 + overtime at 1.5x + door to door pay + van
Most field service roles come with a catch. You're either micromanaged, stuck doing the same thing every day, or treated like a number on a spreadsheet.
This isn't that.
We're working with a small, family-owned CHP and gas power specialist. We design, build, install, and maintain our own gensets. Scania 12 and 13 series engines, CoMAP controls, landfill gas, natural gas, biogas, the lot. You'll see the full engineering journey here, not just the maintenance end of it.
The team is tight. Four people doing the technical work. Trust is high. Nobody hovers. If you want to think for yourself, make decisions on site, and be relied on to get things done properly, you'll fit in here.
What you'd be doing
*
Planned and reactive maintenance on CHP and landfill gas engines.
*
Fault finding. Proper root cause stuff, not just resetting alarms and hoping for the best.
*
If there's a wiring fault, you're the person who figures out whether it's electrical or whether an exhaust leak melted something.
*
Strip downs, rebuilds, inspections.
*
Minor electrical work in the workshop: gas alarms, pumps, fans, plug sockets, lights.
*
Interrogating CoMAP control data and adjusting set points.
*
Supporting genset builds and on site installations when they come up.
The split is roughly 70% mechanical, 30% electrical and diagnostics. Some weeks you'll be servicing. Some weeks you'll be chasing a fault that keeps coming back. Some weeks you'll be helping wire up a new container build onsite. It varies, and that's the point.
You'll report directly to the engineering manager and work alongside people who've been doing this for years. There's support when you need it, but you won't have anyone breathing down your neck.
What matters
*
You've got a solid mechanical background. You understand how gas engines actually work. Scania experience is ideal, but it's the diagnostic mindset that counts.
*
You can interrogate a controller, read the data, and figure out what's actually wrong rather than just swapping parts.
*
You're comfortable with basic electrical tasks and want to develop that side further.
*
You don't wait to be told what to do.
*
You see a problem, you think it through, you deal with it.
*
If something takes you longer than expected, that's fine, as long as you're working through it properly, not just giving up.
Honesty matters here. If there's a problem, say so. Good news or bad, they just want to know.
What's in it for you
*
£50k to £60k depending on experience
*
Overtime at x1.5
*
Door to door pay (your day starts when you leave the house, not when you arrive on site)
*
Company van with personal use
*
21 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
*
An extra 3 to 5 days at Christmas (the workshop shuts down between Christmas and New Year, and it doesn't come out of your allowance)
*
Pension: 5% employer, 3% you
*
Phone allowance, laptop, PPE, specialist tools provided
*
You bring your own hand tools, but if you've been doing this job, you'll have them already
*
18th Edition training
*
Technical training with Sandfirden in the Netherlands (same programme the current team did)
Why people stay
“Variety. Autonomy. The fact that your opinion actually counts. You're encouraged to develop across mechanical, electrical, and controls, not pigeonholed into one thing forever. It's a small team, so what you do matters. You're not a number here.”
The person you're replacing grew into this role over years. Started as an apprentice, left, came back at a different level. He's not disappearing either; he'll still be on the WhatsApp group if you need a second opinion on something. That's the kind of place this is.
