Job Description
About us
My client is the UK’s leading renewable energy generator of low-carbon power from captured methane. They convert methane gas from landfill sites and disused mines into electricity.
About the Role
* Join their expert operations team and play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable operations of their gas reciprocating engines and associated plant equipment. You will play a key role in identifying early signs of faults, conducting diagnostics, and carrying out both reactive and planned maintenance to minimise engine downtime across our range of site-based power generation plants. This ensures their fleet operates at peak performance, supporting the continuous delivery of flexible power generation.
* Working in a collaborative, safety-first environment, you’ll contribute to operational excellence and innovation. Ideally, you’ll bring experience in power generation or industrial maintenance—particularly with gas reciprocating engines—and demonstrate strong fault-finding skills and a proactive approach. If you have hands-on experience stripping and rebuilding engines across agricultural, marine, or industrial sectors, they still want to hear from you.
* Location: This role will primarily serve sites in the Aylesbury and Beaconsfield area, Monday–Friday, day shift only, with a 1/8 paid call-out week, where you would cover sites anywhere in the region.
Key Responsibilities
* Adhere to HSQE regulations, report incidents, and take proactive measures to prevent accidents or compliance breaches
* Perform preventive, corrective, and reactive maintenance, including engine overhauls, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of our sites
* Conduct diagnostics and troubleshooting on assets experiencing recurring trips or performance challenges to prevent engine downtime or breakdowns
* Respond promptly to out-of-hours callouts, effectively diagnosing and restoring equipment functionality
* Ensure all tasks assigned by the Operations Performance Team are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards
* Complete detailed service reports of site visits, ensuring compliance with company protocols
* Manage van stock inventory, book out parts used, and ensure tools remain calibrated and in safe working order
* Engage in a culture of continuous improvement, attending training courses and contributing to operational innovation
About you
* NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or apprentice-trained in a similar mechanical discipline
* Safety-conscious with a proactive approach to health and safety
* Proven experience working on gas reciprocating engines (Jenbacher, MWM, MTU, Deutz or Caterpillar) or any power generation assets
* Experience working on low-voltage electrical systems would be beneficial
* Strong diagnostic and fault-finding skills
* Full UK manual driving license, preferably with field-based experience
* Ability to travel to sites across the South East region during call-out week
What they offer
* Competitive salary with up to 15% bonus, paid quarterly & annually
* Company van & fuel card, plus tools, uniform, laptop, and mobile phone
* Domestic solar, battery, and EV charger funding scheme
* Employee Assistance Program that offers virtual GP appointments
* Cycle-to-work scheme and eye care vouchers
