Field Services Engineer

Aberdeen, United Kingdom Posted on 01/19/2026

Location: Aberdeen (with UK, offshore, and international travel as required)
About the Job

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.

The Role:

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.

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.

Key Responsibilities:

• 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.

Communication & Professionalism:

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
• Commitment to outstanding customer service
• Ability to manage a varied and changing workload
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Systematic, safety-focused approach to engineering tasks
• Team-oriented, with confidence to work independently

Education & Experience

Essential / Strongly Preferred:

• Time-served electrical apprenticeship or equivalent experience
• ONC or higher in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of electrical switchgear, maintenance, and fault finding
• Experience in offshore and/or marine environments
• Comfortable producing clear technical reports
• IT literate, including Microsoft Office

• CCNSG Safety Passport
• Offshore certification such as BOSIET, MIST, and Offshore Medical (or willingness to obtain)
