Multi Skilled Print Finishing Equipment Engineer
ÂŁ40,000 basic (OTE ÂŁ62k) Premium Company Car Overtime Paid Door-to-Door UK Travel with Some Overseas Work
Do you have strong mechanical skills with a solid electrical understanding, and enjoy working on complex, high-precision machinery? This is your opportunity to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global name in advanced print & packaging technology — as they expand their UK service team for their market-leading post-press equipment.
You’ll work on cutting-edge finishing and converting systems used by leading print and packaging producers, taking on installations, servicing, and technical support across the UK and occasionally overseas. If you’re looking for a technically varied role, excellent earning potential, and long-term security, this is a career move worth exploring.
What You’ll Do
- Install, commission, service, and repair high-end post-press / finishing machinery (cutting, folding, binding, die-cutting, converting, and related systems).
- Diagnose and resolve both mechanical and electrical faults, including drives, sensors, controls, and precision assemblies.
- Carry out preventative maintenance, emergency breakdown support, and machine upgrades.
- Travel extensively across the UK (with occasional international projects) — no fixed territory, ensuring wide exposure and technical variety.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Attractive Earnings – £40k starting salary with realistic OTE of £62k (overtime is plentiful and paid door-to-door).
- Premium Company Car – “User chooser” scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250, Audi A3, BMW 225.
- Travel Variety – UK-wide with occasional international trips — a mix of installations, service and technical support.
- 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you don’t lose overtime when taking leave.
- Healthcare & Protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years’ service.
- Long-Term Security – Market-leading pension scheme (employer contributions rise with service — up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
- Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time on Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
- Continuous Development – Specialist product training and clear career progression within a global engineering team.
What We’re Looking For
- Multi-skilled engineer — strong mechanical background with sound electrical skills (fault-finding on drives, sensors, PLCs desirable).
- Field service, maintenance or installation experience on complex industrial machinery — ideally finishing, packaging, or print systems.
- Confident problem solver who enjoys independent work, travel, and customer interaction.
- Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
- Based in England with good motorway access (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).
The Opportunity
A rare chance to work with one of the world’s most respected names in print and post-press technology — a company that values its engineers, offers excellent earning potential, first-class training and a long-term career path.
