A rapidly growing, highly respected engineering organisation within the commercial & industrial heating / HVAC hire sector is seeking a Specialist Engineer to join their Midlands operation. This is a hands-on, varied and fast-paced role supporting critical customer sites with temporary boiler and heating solutions across the region.

This is NOT a planned maintenance role - we are looking for an engineer who thrives in a reactive, fast-response hire environment, where no two days are the same.

The Role

You will be responsible for installation, commissioning, servicing, fault-finding and breakdown response on commercial temporary heating and boiler systems, both depot-based and on customer sites across the Midlands.

Systems typically range from 600kW to 2MW (Gas & Oil) and include forced draft burner technology and associated control systems.

The role will involve:

  • Installation & commissioning of temporary boiler / heating equipment
  • Service, maintenance & reactive breakdown response
  • Working with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
  • Fault finding on mechanical, combustion and control systems
  • Working with BMS / control wiring
  • Modifying plant room pipework and system integration
  • Supporting complex installs (occasionally requiring 1-2 nights away)
  • Working both on-site and depot-based when not attending jobs

This is a field-focused role with variety, autonomy and responsibility.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
  • Experience working on 600kW - 2MW gas / oil systems
  • Background in commercial / industrial - NOT domestic
  • Experience in a reactive / hire / breakdown environment (key requirement)
  • BMS / controls / combustion understanding
  • Strong mechanical fault-finding ability
  • Flexible, hands-on and comfortable working in varying conditions
  • Team-focused, proactive and safety-driven

You must understand the nature of this role - some days involve long hours, travel, weather exposure and complex installations.

Qualifications

  • Commercial Gas Safe
  • OFTEC / Oil (desirable)
  • F-Gas (advantageous)
  • Full UK Driving Licence

(DBS checks may be required for certain sites)

Location

  • Based from Redditch depot
  • Covering Midlands & surrounding areas
  • Company vehicle provided

Salary & Package

£35,000 - £55,000, OTE £70,000 +(depending on experience & qualifications)

  • Significant overtime & on-call earnings
  • Company vehicle
  • Training & development pathway
  • Private healthcare
  • Bonus scheme
  • Pension
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

Further specialist training and qualifications supported.

On-Call & Overtime Structure

  • Weekend work paid at enhanced rates
  • Additional travel time paid when working on site
