Service Engineer

I am recruiting on behalf of my client, a well-established and family-run business based in Bournemouth, specialising in the supply, installation, service and maintenance of commercial laundry and catering equipment.

They have built an excellent reputation across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire for delivering high-quality service and maintaining long-term client relationships, reflected in their very low staff turnover. Due to continued growth, I am now looking to appoint a Service Engineer to join their team.

This Service Engineer position offers a fantastic opportunity to work across a varied client base including nursing homes, hotels, holiday parks and commercial facilities, providing essential maintenance and repair services on a wide range of equipment.

As a Service Engineer, you will be responsible for servicing and maintaining commercial and industrial laundry equipment, ensuring clients receive a reliable and efficient service at all times. This is a field-based role covering Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.

The successful Service Engineer will be working on a variety of equipment including washing machines, tumble dryers and rotary irons, with a mix of both electrical and gas systems.

Key responsibilities for the Service Engineer include:

• Service, maintenance and repair of commercial laundry equipment
• Working on both electrical and gas-fired machinery
• Diagnosing faults and carrying out effective repairs on-site
• Ensuring all work is completed to a high standard and within agreed timeframes
• Providing excellent customer service to a wide range of commercial clients
• Covering sites across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire

To be successful in this Service Engineer role, my client is looking for:

• Experience working on commercial laundry equipment (gas or electrical)
• Alternatively, a background in white goods or domestic gas appliances will be considered
• Good electrical competency
• Gas qualifications such as CCLNG1 or CLE1 would be advantageous but are not essential
• A proactive and professional approach with strong problem-solving skills

In return, the Service Engineer will benefit from:

• Salary starting from 30,000, with higher salaries available for qualified candidates
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Sick pay
• Company van, phone, clothing and laptop (provided after trial period)

This is an excellent opportunity for a Service Engineer looking to join a stable, supportive business with a strong reputation and long-term career prospects.
