• Service and maintain portable air compressors, energy storage systems, generators, lighting tower.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults quickly and effectively.

This is a field-based role with daily travel across Northern England and occasional overnight stays, supported by excellent overtime and travel allowances.

About You

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