Job description

Workshop Engineer - Foodservice Equipment

Location : Bolton

Join a Family Business That Puts People First - and Wins Awards Doing It

My client is on the lookout for a hands-on, switched-on Workshop Engineer to join their close-knit team at their Bolton head office due to one of their engineers retiring.

They're a proudly family-owned business with a big reputation for quality, reliability, and doing things the right way—and the industry awards to back it up. If you're looking for more than just a job and want to work somewhere that truly values its people, this could be exactly what you're after.

What You'll Be Doing

• You'll be servicing and repairing a wide range of commercial foodservice equipment—gas, electric, warewashing, and refrigeration—right in the workshop at my client\'s Bolton HQ.
• You'll be part of a solid team that takes pride in getting things right before the equipment heads out to customers across the UK.
• You'll report to the Workshop Manager and work closely with the technical and projects teams, so your skills and contributions will always be seen and valued.

What They're Looking For

• Hands-on experience with gas / electric catering equipment, warewashers, counter fridges, etc. (Backgrounds in commercial kitchens, white goods, or technical servicing all considered)
• A practical problem-solver with a can-do attitude
• Detail-focused and well-organised—you can handle multiple jobs without breaking a sweat
• A team player who shares knowledge and is always up for learning
• Good communication skills and a strong sense of pride in your work
• COMCAT gas qualifications and microwave testing are a bonus—but training can be provided for the right person

What\'s In It For You

• Genuine career development with training and long-term growth
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays, plus an extra day each year you stay (up to 4 additional days)
• Your birthday off—on them, just to say thanks
• Company pension and sick pay
• A friendly, supportive team where you\'re not just a number

Ready to Make Your Move?

If you\'re a skilled engineer with an eye for detail and want to be part of a business that supports its people, this could be the perfect next step. For a confidential chat call Jo or email your CV to apply.
