About the Role

We’re looking for a Junior Field Engineer with a mechanical bias to join our growing engineering team. This role is ideal for someone at the early stages of their engineering career who wants hands-on site experience, structured development and exposure to a wide range of M&E and energy-related projects.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, learning how to install, maintain and support mechanical systems, while also gaining basic electrical knowledge over time.

If you’re practical, reliable and keen to learn, this is a great opportunity to build a long-term engineering career.

Key Responsibilities

Supporting commissioning and maintenance activities on site
Learning to read drawings and follow method statements and RAMS
Helping to keep sites safe, tidy and well organised
Supporting senior engineers and supervisors with day-to-day site tasks
Completing basic job reports and site documentation
Gradually developing fault-finding and problem-solving skills

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

Interest in mechanical engineering or building services
Some hands-on experience (site work, college, apprenticeship, or similar)
Willingness to learn and take instruction
Good attitude, punctuality and reliability
Ability to work on site away from home
Full UK driving licence (or working towards)

Desirable (but not essential):

Mechanical qualification, apprenticeship or college course
Experience in M&E, plumbing, pipefitting or plant environments
Basic electrical awareness
CSCS card

What We Offer

Competitive junior-level salary (dependent on experience)
Overtime opportunities
On-the-job training and mentoring
Clear progression route to Field Engineer and Senior Engineer roles
Exposure to real projects — not just shadowing
Supportive, practical team environment

Why Join Us?

We believe in developing engineers properly. You’ll be supported, challenged and given the opportunity to grow your skills across mechanical and electrical disciplines while working on varied, real-world projects.

If you’re ready to start your journey as a multi-disciplinary engineer, we’d love to hear from you.
