Service Engineer

We are seeking a mechanically minded Service Engineer to join our growing team. This role would suit someone with experience working on pumps, rotating equipment, motors, gearboxes or other mechanical plant machinery who enjoys fault-finding, diagnosing issues and carrying out maintenance activities.

Before applying for this role, please read the following information about this opportunity found below.

While previous compressed air experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. We are keen to speak with Maintenance Engineers, Mechanical Fitters, Pump Engineers or Service Engineers looking to broaden their skills and build a career within the compressed air industry.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll manage your own workload while delivering exceptional service to customers across the UK.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out servicing, maintenance and repairs on compressed air systems and associated equipment.
  • Diagnose mechanical and electrical faults using a systematic fault-finding approach.
  • Investigate equipment failures and identify root causes to minimise downtime.
  • Perform preventative and reactive maintenance activities at customer sites.
  • Inspect pumps, motors, compressors, blowers, valves and other rotating equipment.
  • Complete equipment installations, upgrades and commissioning works.
  • Accurately complete service reports and maintenance documentation.
  • Provide technical support and recommendations to customers.
  • Ensure all work is completed in accordance with Health & Safety procedures.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with customers and colleagues.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
