• Diagnose electrical and mechanical faults, ensuring safe, compliant operation of all equipment.
• Accurately complete service reports, timesheets, and documentation to ISO and company standards.

• Participate in the call‑out rota (approximately 1 week in 4‑7) and occasional overtime as required.
• Collect parts weekly from the nearest depot.

• Working knowledge of Kaeser, Atlas Copco, CompAir, Gardner Denver, or similar systems.
• A solid understanding of safe working practices and fault‑finding techniques.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regionally.

• £35,000‑£42,000 basic salary (DOE)
• Paid overtime + Call‑Out Allowance
• Company van (work usage)
• Continuous product training
• Supportive environment within an industry‑leading engineering business
• Covering London and the Home Counties

Why Join?

This isn't just another service role – it's an opportunity to become part of a respected engineering organisation that values technical excellence and long‑term relationships.

You'll be joining a collaborative team that prides itself on delivering reliability, safety, and precision in every customer interaction.
