You will support critical on-site activities, including planned preventative maintenance, breakdown response, installation and commissioning. The role covers both standalone units and integrated generator–battery systems, ensuring safe, efficient operation aligned to customer requirements and operational standards.

You will take ownership of all on-site activity, carrying out fault diagnosis, repairs and performance validation. You will also maintain clear and effective communication with both customers and internal teams to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery.
