Overtime: 1.5x | Saturday PM & Sunday: 2x

If you're an electrically or mechanically qualified engineer with experience working on diesel generators, this is an opportunity to join a business where you'll be trusted to work independently, get out on the road, and develop your skills across a wide range of generator equipment.

Why consider this role?

This isn't a workshop-based role where you'll be doing the same job every day.

You'll be travelling to customer sites across the North West & Midlands, servicing and repairing generating sets, carrying out load bank testing and helping customers keep their power systems running when they need them most.

With strong overtime rates, a remote working setup, training opportunities and genuine career development, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Generator Engineer looking for their next move.

The Role

As a Generator Service Engineer, you'll be responsible for the servicing, inspection, testing and repair of diesel generating sets across customer sites and the company's own hire fleet.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned servicing and maintenance of diesel generators.
• Attending customer sites across the UK to diagnose and repair faults.
• Carrying out fault finding, testing and diagnostics.
• Performing load bank testing to ensure generators are operating efficiently.
• Completing pre- and post-hire inspections.
• Servicing and maintaining the company's own generator hire fleet.
• Carrying out temporary repairs where required to keep customers operational while parts are sourced.
• Supporting generator installations and fabrication work when required.
• Assisting with UPS battery build and installation projects.
• Maintaining accurate records and ensuring equipment is safe, clean and ready for use.
• Building strong relationships with customers and providing a professional service at every visit.
• Participating in a 24/7 call-out rota.

What we're looking for

We're interested in speaking with engineers who have a strong mechanical or electrical background and ideally have experience working specifically with diesel generators.

Essential:

• Minimum 2 years' experience working with diesel generators.
• Mechanical or Electrical engineering qualification.
• City & Guilds / NVQ in Engineering or equivalent.
• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic ability.
• Ability to carry out temporary repairs to keep equipment operational.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Willingness to occasionally work away from home.
• Flexibility to participate in a 24/7 call-out rota.

Desirable:

• Experience working on a variety of generator manufacturers.
• Manufacturer-specific generator training.
• Experience with generator installation or fabrication.
• UPS/battery installation experience.

What's in it for you?

• 35,000 - 42,000 salary, depending on experience.
• Excellent overtime earning potential.
• Overtime paid at 1.5x.
• Saturday PM & Sunday paid at 2x.
• Remote-based working with support from the Preston depot.
• Monday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm.
• Friday 8:00am-3:00pm.
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• Optional company pension scheme.
• Optional company healthcare scheme.
• PPE provided.
• Ongoing training and development.
• Varied work across different customer sites and generator equipment.
• Opportunity to become involved in installation, fabrication and UPS projects.
• A supportive team within a growing and established business.
