Job Description

At Vertiv, we're on a mission to empower the people that will power the future. From a simple swipe to life-changing medicines, from push notifications to generative AI. We design, manufacture, and service the products and solutions that keep the world connected. With $5 billion in sales, a strong customer base and global reach spanning nearly 70 countries, we are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value to our customers and create new opportunities for our people.

Role Overview

As a Vertiv UPS Customer Service Engineer, you will be primarily responsible for startups, planned maintenance, and emergency repairs of UPS, Emergency Lighting, battery systems, power distribution (STS), and site monitoring equipment. Your secondary responsibility will be to establish, promote, and maintain excellent rapport with our customers, sales teams, distributors, and others that fall within your area of expertise, whilst maintaining active and open dialogue with the wider Vertiv service management team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Planned routine maintenance of UPS and associated battery systems.
  • System commissioning, startup, load bank and site acceptance testing.
  • Remedial work tasks either as planned repairs or part of a callout activity.
  • Fault finding, investigations and rectification.
  • On-site customer familiarization training.
  • Extensive travel necessary to customer sites of varying locations.
  • Be included on the UPS callout rota to provide 24-hour response.

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.
