Further Info

The majority of the work would be servicing and inspecting Heavy Duty Centrifugal Fans in Energy Recovery Facilities. The work involves both a technical element and physical element and is normally in an industrial setting where adherence to safe working practices is paramount. The work can be physically demanding and periodically requires working outdoors and is normally time sensitive. The job requires working away with overnight stays across most of the UK and associated travel hours. This equates to typically up approx. 5 to 10 nights a month but can vary.

We offer flexible working hours whilst workshop / office-based based and pay overtime for additional hours whilst working away. There is also a mileage allowance and subsistence allowance.

Whilst on site, the Engineer would be expected to communicate regularly with both their direct Supervisor and the Client's Representative to update them on the progress of work.

This role requires supervision of third-party contractors on site so good written and verbal communication skills are necessary as well as an ability to operate calmly under pressure.
