Electromechanical Service Engineer
Location: Mobile role – UK-wide travel | Pay: From £18 per hour (DOE) + overtime
Company van + travel + tools + expenses

Looking for a hands-on engineering role that takes you beyond the workshop and into real-world, on-site technical work?


This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team working on complex industrial kit across the UK – including conveyors, shredders, compactors and other heavy machinery.

You’ll be installing, servicing, fault-finding and repairing a wide range of electromechanical equipment. Every site is different, and you’ll be working alongside a respected team that values independence, professionalism and problem-solving skills.

This is not just another maintenance job – it’s a career path into a niche sector, where your experience will make a visible impact.

Pay & Perks:

  • Starting from £18 per hour (flexible depending on background)

  • 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)


Interested? Apply now with your CV – or reach out for a confidential chat.

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.
