Re: Site Engineer – Job Description
Join the team that keeps the world’s incinerators running. As a Site Engineer, you’ll be the person on the ground installing, commissioning and servicing cutting-edge waste disposal machinery for clients across the UK and around the globe, and representing Addfield wherever you go.
About Addfield
Addfield can trace its roots back to 1982, when the very first Addfield incinerator was hand-built in Staffordshire to help UK farmers manage animal waste safely. More than 40 years on, that same commitment to quality has grown into a world-leading engineering business, designing and manufacturing incinerators from our home in Burntwood, Staffordshire. Our machines now operate in more than 150 countries. British-designed, British-built and trusted worldwide.
The Role
Reports to: Logistics and Servicing Manager
As a Site Engineer, you’ll take Addfield’s incinerators from the workshop to fully operational, commissioned equipment on client sites at home and abroad. It’s a hands-on, varied role for an engineer who enjoys solving problems, meeting people, and seeing the direct impact of their work.
