Contact: Emily or Sammy – Pearson Whiffin Recruitment

A rapidly growing, highly respected engineering organisation within the commercial & industrial heating / HVAC hire sector is seeking a Specialist Engineer to join their Midlands operation. This is a hands-on, varied and fast-paced role supporting critical customer sites with temporary boiler and heating solutions across the region.

This is NOT a planned maintenance role — we are looking for an engineer who thrives in a reactive, fast-response hire environment, where no two days are the same.

The Role

You will be responsible for installation, commissioning, servicing, fault-finding and breakdown response on commercial temporary heating and boiler systems, both depot-based and on customer sites across the Midlands.

Systems typically range from 600kW to 2MW (Gas & Oil) and include forced draft burner technology and associated control systems.

The role will involve:

• Installation & commissioning of temporary boiler / heating equipment
• Service, maintenance & reactive breakdown response
• Working with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
• Fault finding on mechanical, combustion and control systems
• Working with BMS / control wiring
• Modifying plant room pipework and system integration
• Supporting complex installs (occasionally requiring 1–2 nights away)
• Working both on-site and depot-based when not attending jobs

This is a field-focused role with variety, autonomy and responsibility.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience with forced draft burners & commercial boiler systems
• Experience working on 600kW – 2MW gas / oil systems
• Background in commercial / industrial — NOT domestic
• Experience in a reactive / hire / breakdown environment (key requirement)
• BMS / controls / combustion understanding
• Strong mechanical fault-finding ability
• Flexible, hands-on and comfortable working in varying conditions
• Team-focused, proactive and safety-driven

You must understand the nature of this role — some days involve long hours, travel, weather exposure and complex installations.

• Commercial Gas Safe
• OFTEC / Oil (desirable)
• F-Gas (advantageous)
• Full UK Driving Licence

Salary & Package

£35,000 – £55,000, OTE £70,000 +++++(depending on experience & qualifications)

• Significant overtime & on-call earnings
• Company vehicle
• Training & development pathway
• Private healthcare
• Bonus scheme
• Pension
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

Further specialist training and qualifications supported.
