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:

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

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

What We’re Looking For

• Background in commercial / industrial — NOT domestic
\n
• Experience in a reactive / hire / breakdown environment (key requirement)
\n
• BMS / controls / combustion understanding
\n
• Strong mechanical fault-finding ability
\n
• Flexible, hands-on and comfortable working in varying conditions
\n
• Team-focused, proactive and safety-driven
\n

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

\n
• Commercial Gas Safe
