About the Role

We are a leading service provider supporting the oil & gas, power generation, and renewable energy sectors, operating from a recently upgraded Centre of Excellence in Ellon. Following significant investment in our facility, we are continuing to grow and are now looking for a mechanically minded Gas Compressor Technician to join our team.

This is a hands-on, workshop-based role, ideal for candidates who enjoy bench work, dismantling and rebuilding equipment, and working with precision engineering components. You’ll be part of a skilled team responsible for delivering high-quality overhaul and repair services on rotating equipment used in demanding industrial environments.

We welcome applicants from all mechanical backgrounds — whether you have experience in compressors, engines, pumps, gearboxes, automotive, marine, aerospace, or heavy industry — if you have strong mechanical aptitude and enjoy stripping and rebuilding machinery, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Strip down, inspect, and rebuild gas compressors and their components in a workshop/bench environment
• Diagnose mechanical faults and carry out repairs to a high standard
• Perform precision fitting, assembly, and light machining work where required
• Conduct functional and performance testing on overhauled equipment

• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment in line with HSE standards

Requirements

• Experience working on gas compressors or similar rotating equipment (e.g. pumps, motors, turbines)
• Strong mechanical fitting, assembly, and fault-finding skills
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
• High attention to detail with a focus on quality workmanship
• Good communication skills and a team-oriented approach
• Strong awareness of health, safety, and environmental practices

What We’re Looking For

  Strong mechanical experience — any industry considered (automotive, plant, forces, rail, manufacturing, etc.)

  Confident in stripping, inspecting, and rebuilding mechanical equipment

  Experience with rotating equipment (compressors, pumps, motors, engines, gearboxes) is desirable but not essential

  Ability to read and understand engineering drawings and manuals

  High attention to detail and pride in quality workmanship

  Positive attitude, willingness to learn, and ability to work well as part of a team

  Good understanding of health and safety practices in a workshop environment

• Competitive salary
• 33 days annual leave
• Pension contribution
• Employee assistance programme
• Retail, lifestyle, and entertainment discounts
