A rapidly growing, highly respected engineering organisation within the commercial & industrial heating / HVAC hire sector is seeking a Specialist Engineer to join their Midlands operation. This is a hands-on, varied and fast-paced role supporting critical customer sites with temporary boiler and heating solutions across the region.
This is NOT a planned maintenance role — we are looking for an engineer who thrives in a reactive, fast-response hire environment, where no two days are the same.
The Role
You will be responsible for installation, commissioning, servicing, fault-finding and breakdown response on commercial temporary heating and boiler systems, both depot-based and on customer sites across the Midlands.
Systems typically range from 600kW to 2MW (Gas & Oil) and include forced draft burner technology and associated control systems.
The role will involve:
Installation & commissioning of temporary boiler / heating equipment
Service, maintenance & reactive breakdown response
Working with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
Fault finding on mechanical, combustion and control systems
Working with BMS / control wiring
Modifying plant room pipework and system integration
Supporting complex installs (occasionally requiring 1–2 nights away)
Working both on-site and depot-based when not attending jobs
This is a field-focused role with variety, autonomy and responsibility.
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
Experience working on 600kW – 2MW gas / oil systems
Background in commercial / industrial — NOT domestic
Experience in a reactive / hire / breakdown environment (key requirement)
BMS / controls / combustion understanding
Strong mechanical fault-finding ability
Flexible, hands-on and comfortable working in varying conditions
Team-focused, proactive and safety-driven
You must understand the nature of this role — some days involve long hours, travel, weather exposure and complex installations.
