• Carry out full testing of power and temperature control equipment including generators, HV systems, cooling modules and loadbanks, demonstrating strong technical knowledge across engines, AC generators, cooling and control systems.

• Program, test and commission control systems (Aggreko and vendor), managing software installations, load testing products and resolving faults in line with technical specifications.

• Diagnose, resolve and escalate technical issues identified during build and test, working closely with Engineering and Section Managers to implement effective, long-term solutions and prevent repeat issues.

• Maintain the highest standards of safety, quality and compliance, applying LOTO, adhering to HV legislation and best operating practices, and supporting continuous improvement through 6S initiatives.

• Communicate clearly and effectively with stakeholders, providing accurate progress updates, structured handovers, and occasional on-site support at customer or supplier locations.

You are:

• Experience testing and maintaining power and control systems, ideally including diesel and gas generators, HV transformers and HV switchgear, with the ability to interpret electrical schematics and follow logical fault‑finding processes.

• Knowledge of electrical testing standards, including Initial & Periodic Testing and Inspection (C&G 2391-52) and HV qualifications (C&G preferred), advantageous but not essential.

• Target-driven and adaptable, able to work to demanding production schedules and flex working hours when required.

• High level of computer literacy, with strong communication and administrative skills to support accurate reporting and collaboration.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• A highly competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including a generous pension plan, annual bonus opportunities, and Life Assurance.
