We are now looking for a Field Service & Commissioning Engineer based out of Aberdeen to support a growing service operation. This role is not purely commissioning-based and will suit someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working across service, maintenance, upgrades, life extension, and commissioning activities.
Based in Aberdeen, you will deliver a full range of field and workshop-based engineering services, supporting customers across the UK, overseas, offshore, and marine sectors.
Your primary responsibility is the safe execution of service-related projects, ensuring the delivery of an exceptional customer experience.
The role includes:
Workshop-based preparation, testing, and refurbishment work
On-site service, maintenance, and upgrades
Offshore and marine mobilisations where required
Commissioning of installed switchgear as part of wider service activities
No two weeks look the same. This is a hands-on, technically engaging role in a fast-paced environment where mindset matters as much as skillset.
You will be responsible for, but not limited to:
Delivering service, maintenance, upgrade, life extension, and commissioning activities on switchgear and ancillary equipment
Responding to technical enquiries from existing customers and providing practical, professional support
Undertaking pre-mobilisation activities including risk assessments, method statements, and technical planning
Promoting and actively contributing to a strong Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality culture on-site and within the business
Fault finding, breakdown investigation, and repair of switchgear systems
Protection relay testing, upgrades, and associated reporting
Workshop-based service, inspection, and preparation activities
Leading safely on-site when working with subcontractors or client teams
Completing technical reports, service documentation, and expense submissions accurately and on time
Participating in out-of-hours call-out activities when required
The employer reserves the right to vary duties in line with operational requirements.
You will regularly interface with customers, project teams, and internal departments. A professional manner, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to customer care are essential. You will represent the organisation across the UK and internationally, often in high-risk or business-critical environments.
Strong practical problem-solving ability
Calm and effective decision-making under pressure
