About the Role

* Join an expert operations team and play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable operations of our gas reciprocating engines and associated plant equipment. You will play a key role in identifying early signs of faults, conducting diagnostics, and carrying out both reactive and planned maintenance to minimise engine downtime across our range of site-based power generation plants. This ensures our fleet operates at peak performance, supporting the continuous delivery of flexible power generation.

* Working in a collaborative, safety-first environment, you'll contribute to operational excellence and innovation. Ideally, you'll bring experience in power generation or industrial maintenance—particularly with gas reciprocating engines—and demonstrate strong fault-finding skills and a proactive approach. If you have hands-on experience stripping and rebuilding engines across agricultural, marine, or industrial sectors, we still want to hear from you.

* Location: This role will primarily serve sites in Compton Bassett, Swindon and Abingdon, Monday-Friday, day shift only, with a 1/8 paid call-out week, where you would cover sites anywhere in the region.

Key Responsibilities

* The Engineer role will entail working as part of an Operational Team, completing works in line with current KPI's and quality management procedures, encompassing:

* Conduct diagnostics and troubleshooting on assets experiencing recurring trips or performance challenges to prevent engine downtime or breakdowns

* Respond promptly to out-of-hours callouts, effectively diagnosing and restoring equipment functionality

* Ensure all tasks assigned by the Operations Performance Team are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards

* Complete detailed service reports of site visits, ensuring compliance with company protocols

* Manage van stock inventory, book out parts used, and ensure tools remain calibrated and in safe working order

* Engage in a culture of continuous improvement, attending training courses and contributing to operational innovation

About you

* NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds qualification in Mechanical Engineering, or a similar mechanical discipline

* Safety-conscious with a proactive attitude towards health and safety

* Proven experience working on gas reciprocating engines (Jenbacher, MWM, MTU, Deutz, or Caterpillar) or any power generation assets

* Experience working on low-voltage electrical systems with an understanding of base load or power response would be advantageous

* Strong diagnostic and fault-finding skills

* Full UK manual driving licence, preferably with field-based experience
