Do you have a talent for problem-solving, keeping commercial kitchens and bakeries running, and delivering exceptional service?

At Caterglobe Ltd, we don't just fix catering equipment — we keep the heart of hospitality beating. As specialists in servicing, maintenance, and repairs for commercial kitchens and bakeries, we're looking for an experienced Commercial Catering Engineer to join our supportive, skilled, and growing team.

We're proud of the culture we've built. We believe great work starts with great people, which is why we treat each other with respect, kindness, and professionalism. Our engineers support one another, share knowledge, and work as a team. We work hard, but we also understand that life exists outside of work, and we strive to create an environment where people feel valued, appreciated, and supported.

We focus on quality over quantity. Our engineers are given the time, support, and resources needed to do the job properly rather than being rushed from call to call.

If you're looking for more than just a job—somewhere you can develop your skills, be part of a friendly team, and enjoy coming to work each day—we'd love to hear from you.
