Job description

Multi Skilled Print Finishing Equipment Engineer

£40,000 basic (OTE £62k) Premium Company Car Overtime Paid Door-to-Door UK Travel with Some Overseas Work

Do you have strong mechanical skills with a solid electrical understanding, and enjoy working on complex, high‑precision machinery? This is your opportunity to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers – a global name in advanced print & packaging technology – as they expand their UK service team for their market‑leading post‑press equipment.

You’ll work on cutting‑edge finishing and converting systems used by leading print and packaging producers, taking on installations, servicing, and technical support across the UK and occasionally overseas. If you’re looking for a technically varied role, excellent earning potential, and long‑term security, this is a career move worth exploring.

What You’ll Do

• Install, commission, service, and repair high‑end post‑press / finishing machinery (cutting, folding, binding, die‑cutting, converting, and related systems).
• Diagnose and resolve both mechanical and electrical faults, including drives, sensors, controls, and precision assemblies.
• Carry out preventative maintenance, emergency breakdown support, and machine upgrades.
• Travel extensively across the UK (with occasional international projects) – no fixed territory, ensuring wide exposure and technical variety.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Attractive Earnings – £40k starting salary with realistic OTE of £62k (overtime is plentiful and paid door‑to‑door).
• Premium Company Car – "User chooser" scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250, Audi A3, BMW 225.
• Travel Variety – UK‑wide with occasional international trips – a mix of installations, service and technical support.
• 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you don’t lose overtime when taking leave.
• Healthcare & Protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years' service.
• Long‑Term Security – Market‑leading pension scheme (employer contributions rise with service – up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
• Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time on Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
• Continuous Development – Specialist product training and clear career progression within a global engineering team.

What We’re Looking For

• Multi‑skilled engineer – strong mechanical background with sound electrical skills (fault‑finding on drives, sensors, PLCs desirable).
• Field service, maintenance or installation experience on complex industrial machinery – ideally finishing, packaging, or print systems.
• Confident problem solver who enjoys independent work, travel, and customer interaction.
• Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
• Based in England with good motorway access (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).

The Opportunity

A rare chance to work with one of the world’s most respected names in print and post‑press technology – a company that values its engineers, offers excellent earning potential, first‑class training and a long‑term career path.
