Are you a mechanically or electrically minded engineer looking for a fresh challenge? Want to work for a growing company where your skills really matter?

Elite Food Machinery Services are on the hunt for a skilled Service Engineer to join our tight-knit team.

Based in Ashford, Kent, we specialise in the sales, servicing, and repair of food processing machinery — and we need a hands-on professional who can help us keep our clients' businesses running smoothly.

This Service Engineer role is perfect for someone who enjoys a mix of workshop and mobile work, covering London, Essex, Surrey, and the wider Southeast. Whether you're diagnosing faults on-site or setting up new equipment in the workshop, no two days are the same.

Key Responsibilities of the Service Engineer:

• Installing and commissioning food processing equipment at client sites
• Carrying out maintenance, repairs, and emergency breakdown support
• Diagnosing mechanical and/or electrical faults quickly and effectively
• Keeping accurate service records and reports
• Building great relationships with our clients and delivering outstanding service

What You’ll Need:

• Strong mechanical and/or electrical knowledge (we’re open to either!)
• Hands-on experience working with food machinery or similar equipment
• A forklift truck licence is a bonus
• Problem-solving mindset with a focus on customer service
• Self-motivation and reliability — you'll be trusted to work independently

What’s In It for You?

• Competitive salary: £35,000–£40,000 per year (DOE)
• Full training provided – even if you’re not an expert in food machinery yet
• Regular working hours (7am–5pm) with breaks included
• Be part of a friendly, growing company where your work is truly valued
