Maintenance Team Lead & Field Service Engineer

As a Maintenance Team Lead & Service Engineer , you will take the lead in the day-to-day planning, coordination and administration of maintenance activities across the Customer Energy Team's portfolio of industrial biomass boiler systems.

Working closely with the CET Manager, Project Engineer and Field Service Engineers, the role will act as the central point of coordination for planned and reactive maintenance, ensuring activities are effectively scheduled, resources are allocated, spare parts are available and maintenance records and documentation are maintained to the required standard.

The successful candidate will take ownership of routine maintenance coordination, including engineer scheduling, CMMS management, RAMS administration, spare parts and inventory control, and monitoring the completion of maintenance activities. The role will be responsible for proactively progressing these activities, resolving routine operational issues and escalating matters requiring additional technical or management input.

In addition, the successful candidate will provide field engineering support to clients based in Ireland, including commissioning support, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), fault diagnosis and reactive maintenance.

The role requires a technically competent engineer with strong organisational, planning and leadership skills, capable of balancing operational maintenance coordination with practical engineering responsibilities.

Many of the key responsibilities are outlined but these are not exhaustive, and we expect all members of the team to provide support and assistance as necessary.
