Location
Aberdeen (with UK, offshore, and international travel as required)
About the Job
We are now looking for a Field Service & Commissioning Engineer based out of Aberdeen to support a growing service operation. This role is not purely commissioning‑based and will suit someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working across service, maintenance, upgrades, life extension, and commissioning activities.
The Role
Based in Aberdeen, you will deliver a full range of field and workshop‑based engineering services, supporting customers across the UK, overseas, offshore, and marine sectors.
Your primary responsibility is the safe execution of service‑related projects, ensuring the delivery of an exceptional customer experience.
Role Includes
* Workshop‑based preparation, testing, and refurbishment work
* On‑site service, maintenance, and upgrades
* Offshore and marine mobilisations where required
* Commissioning of installed switchgear as part of wider service activities
No two weeks look the same. This is a hands‑on, technically engaging role in a fast‑paced environment where mindset matters as much as skillset.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for, but not limited to:
* Delivering service, maintenance, upgrade, life extension, and commissioning activities on switchgear and ancillary equipment
* Responding to technical enquiries from existing customers and providing practical, professional support
* Undertaking pre‑mobilisation activities including risk assessments, method statements, and technical planning
* Promoting and actively contributing to a strong Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality culture on‑site and within the business
* Fault finding, breakdown investigation, and repair of switchgear systems
* Protection relay testing, upgrades, and associated reporting
* Workshop‑based service, inspection, and preparation activities
* Leading safely on‑site when working with subcontractors or client teams
* Completing technical reports, service documentation, and expense submissions accurately and on time
* Participating in out‑of‑hours call‑out activities when required
The employer reserves the right to vary duties in line with operational requirements.
Communication & Professionalism
You will regularly interface with customers, project teams, and internal departments. A professional manner, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to customer care are essential. You will represent the organisation across the UK and internationally, often in high‑risk or business‑critical environments.
Competencies
* Strong practical problem‑solving ability
* Calm and effective decision‑making under pressure
* Commitment to outstanding customer service
* Ability to manage a varied and changing workload
* Strong verbal and written communication skills
* Systematic, safety‑focused approach to engineering tasks
* Team‑oriented, with confidence to work independently
Education & Experience
* Time‑served electrical apprenticeship or equivalent experience
* ONC or higher in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
* Solid understanding of electrical switchgear, maintenance, and fault finding
* Experience in offshore and/or marine environments
* Comfortable producing clear technical reports
* IT literate, including Microsoft Office
Offshore Requirements (where applicable)
* CCNSG Safety Passport
* Offshore certification such as BOSIET, MIST, and Offshore Medical (or willingness to obtain)
