Qualifications

• Essential: proven multi-skilled field service / plant / mobile-mechanic background (welfare units, generators, plant, HGV, marine, motorhome/leisure, or similar).
• Diesel engine fault-finding and servicing (small industrial engines — HATZ, Kubota, Lombardini, Perkins or equivalent).

• The role is van-based and mobile, covering breakdowns and warranty/service work across customer and hire-fleet sites.
• A large share of faults are diagnosed remotely (via unit telemetry) before attending, so the engineer must be comfortable interpreting remote data and arriving prepared.
• Share responsibility for on-site customer communication and accurate reporting of faults and actions taken.
