Our client is a leading engineering consultancy operating within the rail and rolling stock sector. Due to continued project growth, they are looking to appoint either two Services Engineers, two Senior Services Engineers, or a combination of both to support the delivery of vehicle modification, installation, and turnkey engineering projects across the UK.

This is an excellent opportunity for practical, hands-on engineers who enjoy working both in the workshop and on customer sites, taking ownership of technical activities from planning through to delivery.

Working as part of a specialist projects team, you will support the delivery of rail vehicle modification, installation, testing, and commissioning activities. The role combines practical engineering with technical documentation and customer-facing responsibilities.

  • Liaising directly with customers and project stakeholders
  • Supporting onsite installation teams and subcontractors
  • Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to the highest quality standards

For Senior Services Engineers, additional responsibilities will include:

  • Leading onsite modification and installation activities
  • Producing installation procedures, testing documentation, and technical work instructions
  • Estimating labour requirements, installation durations, and project costs
  • Supporting bid and proposal activities
  • Acting as the technical lead during project delivery

A recognised engineering qualification (Mechanical, Electrical or Electro-Mechanical) is required along with strong practical engineering skills and a flexible approach to travel and working away when required. A full UK Driving Licence is also necessary.

Join a highly respected rail engineering consultancy with a mix of workshop, site, and customer-facing activities.
