If you're an experienced engineer who enjoys leading from the front and taking pride in delivering high-quality work, this role could be a great fit.

We’re recruiting an Engineering Team Leader for a specialist provider supporting the energy, waste and biomass sectors. You’ll travel to client sites across the UK (with overnight stays away), work handson with specialist equipment, and lead a small, motivated team.

Please note:

While you’ll receive excellent training, you must come from an engineering, mechanical maintenance, or plant/machinery maintenance background. This is essential for success in the role.

What makes this opportunity stand out?

* A genuinely hands-on role working with specialist plant and equipment

* The chance to lead, mentor and support a team of two

* Plenty of variety — each project and site offers something different

* The ability to take ownership, make decisions and improve processes

* Managing tools, stock, paperwork and site processes

* Maintaining excellent Health & Safety standards

* Conducting site audits and driving continuous improvement

* Building strong customer relationships

What We’re Looking For

* Essential:
Engineering or plant/equipment maintenance background

* Strong leadership qualities

* Experience working with strict Health & Safety standards

* Confident working independently once trained

* Full UK driving licence + right to work in the UK

* Happy to travel and stay away when required

A positive attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are just as important as technical skills.

What’s on Offer

* £31,000 basic, rising to £33,000 after training

* £5,000 annual allowances + overtime

* £38,000–£45,000 expected earnings

* 10% discretionary bonus

* 30 days holiday including BH (increasing with service)

* Hours:

If you’re an engineer who enjoys variety, leadership and hands-on work, we’d love to hear from you
