Service & Maintenance Engineer

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

• 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.

• Company vehicle (van option available)
• Bonus scheme
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service
