Why This Role Stands Out
As a Service Engineer at SER Ltd, you'll enjoy a dynamic, hands-on role with excellent career growth potential within a specialist manufacturer, complemented by a competitive monthly salary of £42,000-£45,000 and attractive work-life balance with limited travel. This hybrid position is ideal for an electrically biased engineer with strong fault-finding skills and a passion for industrial machinery who thrives in independent problem-solving environments. Apply today to join a team that values your technical expertise and personal well-being!
Quick Overview
Job Description
Service Engineer
Electrical Bias
Location: Luton
Salary: DOE
Hours: 8:30am – 5:00pm
Travel: UK-wide – typically only 1 night away per month
We are looking for an Electrical Bias Service Engineer to join a specialist manufacturer of banding, VFFS and sleeving machinery, supplying equipment into food manufacturing sites across the UK.
This is a varied, hands-on role covering installations, commissioning, breakdowns, servicing and PPM. You will work on both the electrical and mechanical aspects of industrial capital equipment.
What We're Looking For
- Electrical qualification, ideally an apprenticeship or equivalent
- Strong electrical fault-finding skills
- Ability to read electrical drawings and schematics
- Experience working on three-phase 415V machinery
- Confident using a DVM/multimeter
- Experience with HMI inputs/outputs and changing I/O cards
- Ability to wire and fault-find within control panels
- Good mechanical understanding of industrial machinery
- Full UK driving licence
- Comfortable working independently at customer sites
We would consider engineers from either a factory maintenance background or field service environment, particularly those who have worked on machinery involving conveyors and products moving through a production process. Packaging experience is advantageous but not essential.
The Important Bit – Work-Life Balance
This isn't a role where engineers are worked into the ground or constantly away from home.
We manage workloads sensibly, with overnight stays limited to around one per month. When additional hours are required, TOIL is given back rather than paid overtime.
We want our engineers to have a varied and technically interesting role without sacrificing their life outside work.
Package
- £42,000 – £45,000 salary
- Company car or van with personal use
- 5% matched pension
- Company laptop and phone
- 20 days' holiday
- TOIL instead of paid overtime
- Excellent work-life balance
- Minimal overnight travel
