The Company

You will be joining an organisation synonymous with engineering excellence, developing leading power technology solutions for customers in the marine, construction, agricultural, rail and defence sectors (amongst others). A genuine leader in their field, this company provides comprehensive training for the engineers, to reflect the developing and emerging technology in its product range. Customer relationships are key, hence the Service Engineer we are looking for will have a clear track record of delivering added value services in client facing roles.

The Ideal Candidate

You will be experienced in both the mechanical and electrical maintenance of diesel engines and/or propulsion systems and associated electrical control technology, ECU’s (Electronic control unit). Qualified to NVQ3 as a minimum, you will have demonstrable experience of fault diagnostics and remote diagnostics and conditioning.

Working in the customer location that is a highly safety critical environment, you will be required to undertake pre-employment checks including medicals, drug and alcohol screens.

You do not need any Rail experience, as full training will be provided! This is a fantastic opportunity to move your career towards the Rail sector!

The Role

As the Rail Service Engineer, you’ll be carrying out fault diagnostics on modern diesel engines, downloading data, and ECU (Electric Control Unit) familiarity.

Fully product training will be provided as Service Engineers are responsible as product experts for ensuring performance and availability for the diesel engines in the rolling stock. Whilst hands-on work, at the heart of this role is being able to undertake remote diagnostic work to obtain, evaluate and interpret data to identify likely faults before physically seeing the engine. This represents intermediate fault-finding activity and fault resolution courtesy of effective condition monitoring.

The Salary

Basic salary of £37,423 per annum + Overtime available + Company Van + Fuel Card, Laptop, Mobile Phone.

This role is field-based and will be covering the M4 Corridor area, from Reading to London, working a 4 on 4 off shift basis, 40 hours a week, 25 Days holiday + BH, attractive pension scheme, private medical and other big company benefits are offered as standard.
