Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent Salary: Competitive Salary, Depending on Experience. Location: Chelmsford – Home Based – Working in the Field. About The Company: They are a market leader in the repair and maintenance of towable and static cabins that keep site teams warm, fed and safe on construction, civils and events sites nationwide. About The Role: To attend, diagnose and repair mobile welfare cabins in the field — restoring generators, power, heating, water and waste systems to full working order, first-time wherever possible, while working safely and unsupervised at customer sites. The role is van-based and mobile, covering breakdowns and warranty/service work across customer and hire-fleet sites. A large share of faults are diagnosed remotely (via unit telemetry) before attending, so the engineer must be comfortable interpreting remote data and arriving prepared. What the Role Actually Deals With: · Generators / diesel engines - Oil pressure & oil-change faults, fuel systems, exhaust/DPF, alternator, AVR, governor, glow, E-stop, servicing. Engines: HATZ, Kubota, Lombardini, Perkins, Stephill (Boss L48/L70/L100 units). · Plumbing, water & waste - Frozen/burst pipes, tanks, UV filters, water pumps, toilets, waste-level sensors, leaks. · Electrical & power - 12/24V DC systems, Victron kit (inverters, Cerbo, MPPT/solar), fuses, relays, wiring looms, sockets, PIR lighting, "no power" / dead-console faults, electrical-test compliance. · Diesel heaters - Parking/diesel heaters — glow-pin and fuel-pump failure, re-priming, rewiring, thermostats, frost-related no-heat. · Batteries - Lithium battery diagnosis (100/200Ah), BMS behaviour, Victron charge settings, deep-discharge recovery, charge/hold faults. · Telemetry / comms - Units not updating/communicating — SIM/modem, Cerbo, remote-monitoring diagnosis and SIM replacement. · Towing & chassis - Lifting rams/pins, wheels-down locking, coupling, brakes, tyres — getting units mobile. · Hydraulics - Power packs, rams, solenoids for raising/lowering units. · Fabrication - Doors, door closers, hoods, structural repair. · Solar - Panels and MPPT charge faults. Roughly 1 in 5 reported faults turn out to be user error — so customer education, clear on-site communication and honest reporting matter as much as the wrench work. Candidate Requirements Essential: · Proven multi-skilled field service / plant / mobile-mechanic background (welfare units, generators, plant, HGV, marine, motorhome/leisure, or similar). · Diesel engine fault-finding and servicing (small industrial engines — HATZ, Kubota, Lombardini, Perkins or equivalent). · 12V / 24V DC electrical competence — fault-finding wiring, fuses, relays, inverters, charging systems using a multimeter. · Confident reading fault data / telemetry and working from remote diagnostics. · Practical plumbing / water-system repair skills. · Strong problem-solving and first-time-fix mindset; comfortable working alone and unsupervised . · Full UK driving licence ; B+E (trailer/towing) entitlement or willingness to obtain. · Good customer-facing manner and clear written job reporting. Highly Desirable: · Electrical qualification — City & Guilds 2391 (Inspection & Testing) and/or 18th Edition (BS 7671) ; PAT competence. · Experience with Victron energy systems (Cerbo GX, MultiPlus inverters, MPPT, VRM) and lithium/BMS battery systems. · Diesel parking/air heater experience (Webasto/Eberspächer-type). · Hydraulics (power packs, rams, solenoids). · Fabrication repairs. · Solar PV, and basic IT/comms (SIM, modem, routers) familiarity. · Relevant safety tickets (CSCS Card, first aid, working at height, manual handling). Personal Attributes · Self-motivated and reliable — the customer's day-rate is stopped until the unit works again. · Methodical and safety-first, especially around live electrics, fuel and lifting operations. · Resilient and adaptable — outdoor, all-weather, sometimes remote sites. · Honest reporter — records what was found and done, including when a fault is user error or unresolved. Working Conditions · Field-based, mobile role with company van and tools. · Regional travel to customer and hire sites; some early starts / site-hours working. · Breakdown-response element — may include on-call / out-of-hours cover (to be confirmed). · Physical role: lifting, working outdoors, in confined welfare-unit plant spaces and all weathers. What they offer · Competitive salary (depending on experience). · Company pension. · Company van, tools and PPE. · Manufacturer and in-house training across generators, power, heating and telemetry. · Varied, hands-on work with a UK manufacturer that builds what you fix. If you feel that you have the relative skills/attributes to fulfil this role then please apply now for immediate consideration. The employer fully supports Equality in Employment. All employment is decided based on qualifications, merit and business need.
