Graduate Service Engineer

If you are an engineering graduate who enjoy hands on-work, travelling to different sites, and solving problems, then this could be a great role for you,

You’ll be working with large material handling equipment, which is used for a variety of purposes. For example production lines in factories; buckets for transporting powders; or for moving items in warehouses and logistics centres.

You’ll be visiting the companies that use these, mainly to do planned maintenance and servicing. And sometimes to fix breakdowns, though these don’t tend to happen often as the equipment is of a high quality.

There will be plenty of technical problems to solve.

Your boss will let you know where your jobs are, and these can vary week to week. You’ll be covering the UK, but most will be in England, including Lancashire and Yorkshire.

You can take pride in your work, and will be able to make suggestions if you feel any processes could be improved.

While you are training, you will be going to jobs with an experienced engineer, and learning from them. In time, you will be working on your own, though there will always be some jobs where someone else will be with you.

Please note that there will be some physically demanding work, such as lifting.

HOURS

A salary of between £32,000 to 35,000 depending on experience, plus paid overtime when you work extra hours

Benefits include: employee assistance programme, life and medical insurance, profit share scheme. And you’ll get a tablet, mobile phone, and company van.
