• Time and a half paid after 39 hours (Mon-Sat), double time on Sundays

• Company van, phone/tablet, credit card, fuel card provided

• Tools, PPE, uniform and hotel stays covered

• Full-time hours (42.5/week) + overtime available

• Progression, development and industry-specific training

What you'll be doing:

• Carry out installation, maintenance and breakdown response on recycling & handling equipment

• Diagnose and repair electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems

• Complete service reports and worksheets on mobile devices

• Deliver occasional operator training and support

• Travel nationally (some overnight stays - accommodation provided)

• Participate in an on-call rota (1 in
  5)

What you'll need:

• Solid hands-on experience as a field service, maintenance, or electromechanical engineer

• Comfortable working with 3-phase systems, PLCs, hydraulics and motors

• Level 3 Electrical qualification (ideally with 16th, 17th or 18th Edition)

• A proactive, self-sufficient approach to engineering tasks

• Full UK driving licence (essential)

• Experience with recycling machinery (desirable, but not essential)

You don't need to have recycling sector experience - if you've worked with heavy machinery or industrial equipment, we'd love to hear from you.
