Job Description

Location: Aberdeen (with UK, offshore, and international travel as required)

We are now looking for a Field Service & Commissioning Engineer based out of Aberdeen to support a growing service operation. This role is not purely commissioning-based and will suit someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working across service, maintenance, upgrades, life extension, and commissioning activities.

The Role

Based in Aberdeen, you will deliver a full range of field and workshop-based engineering services, supporting customers across the UK, overseas, offshore, and marine sectors.

Your primary responsibility is the safe execution of service-related projects, ensuring the delivery of an exceptional customer experience.

The role includes:

  • Workshop-based preparation, testing, and refurbishment work
  • On-site service, maintenance, and upgrades
  • Offshore and marine mobilisations where required
  • Commissioning of installed switchgear as part of wider service activities

No two weeks look the same. This is a hands on, technically engaging role in a fast paced environment where mindset matters as much as skillset.

Key Responsibilities

You will be responsible for, but not limited to:

  • Delivering service, maintenance, upgrade, life extension, and commissioning activities on switchgear and ancillary equipment
  • Responding to technical enquiries from existing customers and providing practical, professional support
  • Undertaking pre-mobilisation activities including risk assessments, method statements, and technical planning
  • Promoting and actively contributing to a strong Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality culture on site and within the business
  • Fault finding, breakdown investigation, and repair of switchgear systems
  • Protection relay testing, upgrades and associated reporting
  • Workshop based service, inspection, and preparation activities
  • Leading safely on site when working with subcontractors or client teams
  • Completing technical reports, service documentation, and expense submissions accurately and on time
  • Participating in out of hours call out activities when required

The employer reserves the right to vary duties in line with operational requirements.

Communication & Professionalism

You will regularly interface with customers, project teams and internal departments. A professional manner, clear communication and a genuine commitment to customer care are essential. You will represent the organisation across the UK and internationally, often in high risk or business critical environments.

Competencies

  • Strong practical problem solving ability
  • Calm and effective decision making under pressure
  • Commitment to outstanding customer service
  • Ability to manage a varied and changing workload
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Systematic, safety focused approach to engineering tasks
  • Team oriented, with confidence to work independently

Education & Experience

Essential / Strongly Preferred:

  • Time served electrical apprenticeship or equivalent experience
  • ONC or higher in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Solid understanding of electrical switchgear, maintenance and fault finding
  • Experience in offshore and/or marine environments
  • Comfortable producing clear technical reports
  • IT literate, including Microsoft Office

Offshore Requirements (where applicable)

  • CCNSG Safety Passport
  • Offshore certification such as BOSIET, MIST and Offshore Medical (or willingness to obtain)
