Company Car

Industry‑Leading Staff Benefits

Overtime Paid Door‑to‑Door

UK Travel with Some Expectation of Overseas Work

Are you a skilled engineer who thrives on technical challenge, variety, and working with world‑class machinery?

This is your opportunity to join one of the print industry's most respected global manufacturers as they expand their UK post‑press service team.

You'll install, service, and support some of the most advanced post‑press systems in the market — working with high‑profile print and packaging sites across the UK, with occasional projects in Europe.

If you want a role where your expertise is genuinely valued, backed by first‑class training, long‑term development, and excellent earning potential — keep reading.

So long as you're based within good travel distance of the motorway network, this could be the ideal next step.

What You'll Do

• Install post‑press equipment at customer sites in line with schedules and installation requirements.
• Diagnose faults, carry out repairs, and provide technical recommendations.
• Deliver operator training and machinery demonstrations to customer teams.
• Complete pre‑planned service visits and preventative maintenance.
• Refer to technical documentation and work collaboratively with the wider engineering team.
• Accurately report on all work carried out, including actions taken and any outstanding items.
• Maintain professional, confident communication with customers and act as an ambassador for the business.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Attractive Earnings- Up to £40k basic with realistic OTE of £60k‑£70k (door‑to‑door paid overtime is plentiful).
• Premium Company Car- “User‑chooser” scheme; engineers currently drive Mercedes, Audi, BMW, etc.
• Travel Variety- UK‑wide coverage with occasional European trips — no week looks the same.
• 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays- Plus average holiday pay so you're not penalised for time off.
• Health & Protection Benefits- Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical cover after 5 years.
• Long‑Term Stability- Excellent pension scheme with employer contributions increasing over time.
• Overtime Rates- Time & a half after 18:00 and Saturdays, double time for Sundays and bank holidays.
• Overnight Allowances- Paid for both UK and overseas stays.
• Structured Career Development- High‑quality training on global‑leading equipment, with long‑term progression opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• Recognised qualification in electrical or mechanical engineering or experience‑based equivalent.
• Experience working with print finishing / post‑press machinery.
• Strong diagnostic ability and a hands‑on, methodical approach to problem‑solving.
• Confident communicator with a customer‑focused mindset.
• Comfortable travelling extensively and staying away from home when required (approximately 100 nights per year).
• Full driving licence.
• Based in England with good access to major motorway routes.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to join a financially strong, globally recognized engineering brand that invests heavily in its people. If you're looking for technical challenge, variety, autonomy, and a package that rewards loyalty and expertise — this is the career move you've been waiting for.
