Job description

Join a Major Nationwide Project as an Installation & Service Engineer

phs Wastekit

Are you an engineer who wants more than just another service role?

At phs Wastekit, we’re looking for Installation & Service Engineers to join us on an exciting, large‑scale project delivering modern recycling solutions to customers across the UK. This is your chance to be part of something visible, impactful, and growing — with the support, training, and structure to help you succeed.

The Opportunity

As an Installation & Service Engineer, you’ll be at the front line of our operation — installing, servicing, and commissioning recycling equipment in clean, well‑managed customer environments. You won’t just fix machines; you’ll help customers transform the way they manage waste.

You’ll be trusted to:

• Install and service equipment safely and professionally
• Deliver on‑site training to customers so they get the very best from their machines
• Carry out site surveys and support new installations as part of a co‑ordinated national rollout
• Take real ownership of your work and your customer relationships

This role is planned, structured, and supported — working closely with our Service Desk and Operations teams to ensure jobs are organised efficiently and safely.

Travel, Variety & Paid Nights Away. No two weeks are the same. The role involves planned travel across regions, with overnight stays required from time to time — all fully expensed. Some weekend work may be required occasionally, but this is balanced with proper planning and support.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and seeing the results of your work on‑site, this role delivers.

Training & Development

We invest heavily in our engineers.

You’ll receive:

• Regular technical and safety training
• Ongoing development to keep your mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic knowledge up to date
• A Train the Trainer qualification, enabling you to confidently train customers on installed equipment
• Clear standards, processes, and support to help you perform at your best

This is a role where your skills are valued — and actively developed.

What Success Looks Like

• High‑quality installations and servicing completed safely and right first time
• SLAs consistently achieved and exceeded
• Customers who trust you, value your professionalism, and enjoy working with you
• Accurate job records, time, and parts logged correctly
• Pride in your van, tools, PPE, and the way you represent the business

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ll come from a service engineering, mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic background, and you’ll bring:

• The ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• A professional, customer‑focused attitude
• Confidence communicating clearly with customers and colleagues
• A disciplined, organised approach to paperwork and administration
• Most importantly, we’re looking for engineers who take ownership, care about quality, and want to be part of a team delivering something bigger.

Why phs Wastekit?

• Be part of a major, high‑profile project
• Work in clean, professional environments
• Excellent training and ongoing development
• Fully expensed nights away
• Company vehicle, tools, PPE, and uniform provided
• Strong operational support — you’re never on your own

In return for your commitment and expertise, you will receive

• A competitive salary of £35,000.00.
• We offer accredited ILM Training in house and external training.
• Ongoing career and development opportunities.
• Digital GP for you and your family.
• Over £1000 worth of savings and discounts at Supermarkets and High Street stores with PHS Perks.
• Company pension.
• 24-hour wellbeing helpline.
• All kit required for working effectively on the road.
