We're recruiting a mechanically biased engineer to join an established engineering business that genuinely looks after its people.

You'll be home based, travelling to customer sites across the UK to service, maintain and repair mechanical equipment used in industrial and manufacturing environments.

  • Complete planned maintenance and servicing.
  • Work independently, with support from an experienced engineering team.
  • Travel across the UK, with overnight stays when required.

  • A mechanically biased engineer with good fault-finding skills.
  • NVQ Level 3 or equivalent preferred.
  • Full UK driving licence.

You don't need years of experience. Someone with just 12 months' relevant engineering experience, the right attitude and a willingness to learn will be considered.

  • £38,000–£40,000 basic salary.
  • Overtime paid at 1.5x.
  • night shift allowance, when applicable.
  • Overnight expenses and subsistence allowances.
  • Company van, tools, laptop and phone.
  • Private medical insurance and life insurance.
  • Company pension and profit share scheme.
  • 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
  • Full training and ongoing support.
