Job Description
Due to increased orders, they are now looking for another Service Engineer.
You will spend your time based in the Manchester area and travelling around the North-West of England, visiting client premises, sometimes assisting another Technician with the installation of the cabinet and then on your own to commission and service the cabinets.
The work will involve a lot of travelling and overnight stay away from home, which the company will organise for you.
These batteries are changed every five years, so a degree of physical fitness is required to lift and move these batteries.
If you have any medical condition that will prevent you from lifting and carrying car-size batteries, or cause you injury - then this is not the role for you!
Following an initial training process, every one week in five, you will be 'On-Call' on a 24 hour basis, which will mean an extra £2,500 per annum on top of your basic salary.
This is in case there is a problem with one of the cabinets that is providing power supply in the event of a mains failure.
If you are actually called out while 'on-call' outside of the normal working hours, you will be paid at the overtime rate.
You will also be required to work a number of Saturdays or Sundays, as a lot of installation, commissioning and maintenance work is requested during the weekend by the customer.
Initially, your product training will be carried out at the Hitchin premises with a view to going to Italy for further training with the parent company, and then your first 6 months will be spent training and 'shadowing' an experienced Field Service Engineer.
Skills & Qualifications required

Desirable service engineer background
Must have used testing equipment
