• Operate from a home base and cover the South and South West
• Service and maintain portable air compressors, energy storage systems, generators, pumps, lighting towers, and handheld tools
• Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults quickly and effectively
• Carry out commissioning, pre-delivery inspections, and upgrades
• Deliver exceptional customer service and be a trusted face of the brand

• HNC (or equivalent) in mechanical or electrical engineering (advantageous)
• Full clean UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK

Why This Role Stands Out

• Flexibility – Operate from a home base with support from a collaborative team
