Field Service Engineer – Diesel Engines, Generators & Plant Equipment in London

We are recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to join a leading international organisation providing specialist power and engineering solutions to customers across a wide range of industries.

This is a varied, hands-on role involving the servicing, maintenance, fault-finding and repair of diesel engines, generators and associated mechanical and electrical equipment at customer sites across London and the South East.

We are keen to hear from engineers with backgrounds in diesel engines, power generation, HGVs, automotive engineering, construction plant, agricultural machinery, industrial maintenance or Armed Forces engineering.

You don't necessarily need previous experience in power generation. If you have strong mechanical or electrical skills, enjoy diagnosing faults and are interested in developing your expertise in specialist equipment, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Service, maintain and repair generators, diesel engines and associated mechanical and electrical equipment.

• Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical and engine-related faults.

• Respond to equipment breakdowns and carry out planned preventative maintenance.

• Inspect, test and troubleshoot equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation.

• Work independently at customer sites across London and the South East.

• Complete service reports, maintenance records and health and safety documentation.

• Provide technical support and a professional, responsive service to customers.

We welcome applications from engineers with practical experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Diesel engines and generator maintenance; HGV, bus and commercial vehicle engineering; Automotive mechanics and vehicle diagnostics;Construction plant and heavy equipment; Agricultural machinery and mobile plant; Power generation and industrial engines; Mechanical, electrical and industrial maintenance;Field service engineering and equipment rental; Military engineering, including vehicles, generators, power systems, specialist plant and technical equipment

Ideally, you'll have:

• An engineering apprenticeship, relevant technical qualification, military engineering training or equivalent practical experience.

• Hands-on experience servicing, maintaining or repairing engines, mechanical systems or electrical equipment.

• Strong diagnostic, troubleshooting and fault-finding skills.

• The ability to work independently and solve technical problems.

• A commitment to safety, quality and customer service.
