Compliance, Health & Safety

• Follow company procedures, manufacturer guidelines, and relevant industry standards.
• Complete appropriate risk assessments and method statements before undertaking work.
• Work safely when dealing with mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and pressurised systems.
• Maintain a high standard of housekeeping and ensure environmental requirements are followed.

Breakdown & Emergency Callouts

• Ability to respond professionally to compressor breakdowns and emergency callouts.
• Methodical approach to fault finding under pressure.
• Ability to determine whether equipment can be safely returned to service.
• Good understanding of temporary repairs versus permanent remedial solutions.
• Willingness to participate in an on-call rota, if applicable.

Key Skills, Experience & Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of a wide range of compressor types and manufacturers.
• Good understanding of mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems.
• Experience working with PLCs, sensors, control systems, and compressor controllers.
• Practical experience with compressed air pipework and associated equipment.
• Strong fault-finding, diagnostic and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to read and understand mechanical and electrical drawings.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple service requirements.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Relevant mechanical/electrical qualifications or proven industry experience would be advantageous.
• Understanding of compressor energy consumption and system efficiency.
• Ability to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs.
• Experience with air leak surveys, data logging and compressor performance analysis would be advantageous.
• Understanding of load/unload, variable-speed, and fixed-speed compressor operation.

Compressor-Specific Training

• Knowledge and experience of rotary screw compressors and major manufacturers such as Ingersoll Rand, Atlas Copco, BOGE and ELGi would be advantageous.
• Manufacturer-specific training and experience with different compressor models is desirable but not essential.
• We recognise that engineers may have experience with some manufacturers but not others, and we are able to provide additional training to address any knowledge or experience gaps.

Mechanical Engineering or Technical Qualification

• A qualification or background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or another relevant technical discipline would be advantageous.
• Candidates with relevant practical engineering experience but without formal qualifications will also be considered.
• A strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and industrial systems is important for the role.

On-the-Job Training & Development

• We provide structured on-the-job training to help engineers develop the knowledge and practical experience required to work on our core range of compressor and compressed air equipment.
• New engineers will initially work alongside experienced engineers, gaining hands-on experience in:
  • Compressor servicing and maintenance.
  • Fault finding and diagnostics.
  • Compressor installation and commissioning.
  • Electrical and control systems.
  • Pneumatic systems and pipework.
  • Air treatment equipment and compressed air systems.
• Training will be tailored to the individual's existing skills and experience, allowing engineers to build their competence and confidence progressively.
• We are committed to continued professional development and providing opportunities for engineers to expand their technical knowledge and manufacturer-specific expertise.
