Full job description

Do you have a mechanical, electrical, machining, or industrial maintenance background and want a career that takes you around the world?

Valmet is looking for a Blue Collar Field Technician to join our Yankee Services team in Darwen, UK . This is a unique opportunity for mechanically minded candidates who enjoy hands-on, physical work and want to develop specialist skills in a niche global industry.

As a Yankee Services Field Technician, you will provide worldwide onsite machining and thermal coating services for tissue paper manufacturing customers. Following a structured training program, you will work independently and alongside fellow technicians on customer sites, ensuring Yankee cylinders are serviced and finished to the highest standards of quality and performance.

This is a physically demanding, hands-on role involving international travel, technical problem-solving, machinery maintenance, and direct work with industrial equipment in customer production environments.

What You'll Do

Implement drying cylinder service projects, including repair, grinding, thermal spraying, inspection, and measurement activities on customer sites.
Maintain, repair, and service equipment used in field operations to ensure safe and effective performance without lost time due to equipment failure.
Monitor equipment performance and report any deviations from normal operating conditions while working on customer sites.
Troubleshoot technical and operational issues.

What You'll Bring

A strong commitment to continuous learning, self-development, and improvement.
A positive attitude and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team-oriented environment.
Flexibility and willingness to travel extensively (50%+), sometimes at short notice, including holidays and weekends.
A clean driving record and a reputation for being ethical, dependable, and trustworthy.
A strong work ethic with the drive to take initiative and get the job done.
Mechanical, electrical, machining, or related technical experience, combined with a desire to advance your skills and take on greater responsibility.
A strong aptitude for learning new technologies, processes, and equipment.

Preferred Experience

Knowledge and experience machining to close tolerances, including the mathematical skills required to measure, align, and verify precision specifications.
Manual machining, machine operation, or related machine shop experience.
Basic electrical knowledge, including troubleshooting and fault-finding skills.
Thermal spray experience.
Industrial mechanical and fitter experience.
Military experience related to electrical systems, troubleshooting, mechanical repair, or maintenance.

What to Expect

Field assignments typically involve 12-hour day and night shifts.
The average project lasts approximately 7 days, including travel time, although some assignments may be scheduled back-to-back.
The work environment can be hot, dirty, physically demanding, and highly rewarding.
When not on customer sites, you'll support equipment maintenance, repairs, and project preparation activities in the workshop.

What We Offer

At Valmet, you'll join a global team of more than 14,000 professionals who are passionate about innovation, collaboration, and helping our customers succeed. As a world-leading developer and supplier of technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, we provide a dynamic environment where you can build a rewarding and long-term career.

In this role, you'll benefit from:

Competitive, market-based compensation with enhanced pay rates for overseas assignments.
Daily travel allowances while working away from home.
The opportunity to travel internationally and gain experience working with customers across the globe.
Comprehensive training and development programmes to help you build specialist skills in a highly specialised and in-demand field.
Career growth opportunities within a global industry leader.
24 days of annual leave.
A contributory pension scheme.

We provide full training and support to help you succeed. As this role involves international travel and physically demanding work, successful candidates will be required to complete occupational medical assessments and receive any necessary immunisations for global travel.

If you're looking for a hands-on technical career with global travel, specialist training, and the opportunity to work with industry-leading equipment, we'd love to hear from you!
