About Rehlko

Rehlko is a global leader in power and energy resilience, with a heritage that spans over 100 years. Formerly known as Kohler/SDMO, Rehlko has continually shaped the way the world powers homes, industries, and critical infrastructure — ever since launching the first modern generator.

As part of this exciting growth, WB Power Services has now become Rehlko. This transition marks our evolution into an OEM, allowing us to design, build, and deliver complete power solutions from the ground up. It’s a transformation that strengthens our technical capability, expands our product range, and deepens the value we offer to our clients.

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 Person

• Time-served Mechanical/Electrical Engineer or qualified to NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent).
• Previous generator experience is highly advantageous, though not essential.

• Experience in a mobile engineering role is desirable.
• Able to complete risk assessments and work safely at all times.
• Strong communication skills, confident liaising with customers face-to-face and over the phone.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
