We retain the strong, values-led foundation of a family business, while being empowered by the scale, resources, and global vision of Rehlko. For our people, this means new opportunities, bigger projects, and a chance to shape the future of resilient, sustainable energy.

The Role

As a Hire Field Service Engineer, you'll spend most of your time on customer sites, ensuring our hire fleet is installed, maintained, and operating safely and efficiently.
