A long-term opportunity with a company that genuinely looks after its engineers. With most staff staying 15-20 years, this is a role where your work is valued and rewarded.
You'll be servicing and installing weighing systems, including weighbridges and platform/lab scales, across a local patch (typically within a 2.5-hour radius of your home). If you've got a good attitude, electrical fault-finding skills, and you're not afraid of physical work, this company will support you, train you, and give you a career - not just a job.
The Role:

Service, maintenance, calibration, repair, and installation
Basic mechanical work: spanners, jacking, lifting (~20kg)
Electrical fault finding (240v AC/DC - multimeter use essential)

Optional Saturday work available
Hours & Earnings:
40-hour contract - most engineers work ~50 hours/week
Paid door-to-door travel
2.5 hours per day built-in for lunch and travel
Average 10 hours/week overtime (paid at 1.5x)
Easily hit £35,000+ per year, with more available for those who want extra hours
What You'll Need:
Electrical fault-finding experience (240v AC/DC)
Confident with multimeters and electronic diagnostics
Basic mechanical ability (no qualifications required)
Physically fit - regular lifting involved
Comfortable working in industrial and occasionally dirty environments
Positive, can-do attitude - attitude is more important than qualifications
Experience from industries such as printing, vending, or weighing (retail/industrial) is ideal. Full training is provided.
What You'll Get:
£28,000 - £35,000 basic salary + paid overtime
Company vehicle, tools, and full expenses paid
Paid lunch breaks + door-to-door travel time
Long-term job stability in a growing business
