Job Description
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
About You
We’re looking for a capable, adaptable engineer who thrives on variety and hands-on problem solving. You’ll have solid experience maintaining or servicing industrial, process, packaging, or automated machinery, ideally within a manufacturing or production environment.
You’ll Bring
* Multi-skilled background (electrical and mechanical)
* Experience working with PLC-controlled machinery (operational understanding, not programming)
* A good general engineering understanding
* Relevant engineering qualification (apprenticeship, HNC/HND, or equivalent)
* Full UK driving licence
* Professional, proactive attitude and good communication skills
* Experience with packaging, process, inkjet, or automation equipment would be a bonus, but broad engineering experience is equally valuable.
What’s on Offer
* Up to £45,000 basic salary (DOE)
* £5,000 typical overtime per year
* Company vehicle (van option available)
* Bonus scheme
* 20 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service
* Pension & health schemes
* Laptop & mobile provided
* Excellent training and European manufacturer visits
