Just Temps is seeking a Trainee Engineer for a well-established company based on the outskirts of Ipswich, Suffolk.
This is a dynamic role that combines technical expertise with customer service. You will have a passion for working with machinery and solving problems on the spot.
Key responsibilities include:
- Service and maintenance: Supply, fit, service, and maintain compressors, pipework, receivers, dryers, and more!
- Troubleshooting and repair: Diagnose faults, carry out temporary repairs when necessary, and ensure machines are running efficiently and effectively on-site.
- Customer-focused: Engage with customers directly to discuss the best options for each job, offering expert advice and solutions. Once trained, you will become the face of the company, so a friendly and professional approach is essential.
- Safety and PPE: Wear provided overalls and PPE (personal protective equipment) while working on various sites, some of which may be dusty or dirty.
- Team collaboration: Work as part of a small but skilled team, sharing knowledge and ensuring jobs are completed to the highest standard.
What this role offers:
- Full training provided: No experience? No problem! You will be trained to become an expert in servicing, including pipework, receivers and more.
- Competitive salary: Dependent on experience.
- 24/7 breakdown callouts: Once trained, you’ll rotate on callouts to assist customers in their time of need.
- Company vehicle: After training, you will be provided with your own van for work travel. Until then, you'll travel with colleagues.
- Work schedule: Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm (with flexibility depending on job requirements). No bank holidays or nights away!
- Generous holiday: Enjoy 25 days of annual leave once permanent.
- Company mobile: After completing your training, you'll be provided with a company mobile phone.
- Uniform and PPE: All provided once training is complete.
Essential requirements include:
- A full UK driving licence is required for the role, as you will need to travel to various sites.
- The ability to work at heights is essential for some tasks.
- Manual handling with the ability to lift and handle heavy items.
- Thorough knowledge of machinery, with the ability to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain compressors.
- Excellent communication skills - completing job sheets, communicating with customers, and signing off tasks on-site.
What’s the role like?
This is a practical, hands-on role where every day is different. From performing repairs on-site to assisting customers in getting their machines back up and running, no two days will be the same. If you enjoy solving problems, working with machinery, and meeting customers, this role is perfect for you.
