Description

Service Engineer 

Location: Guildford
Salary: £14.50 – 17.75 per hour, depending on experience

We’re currently recruiting for an experienced Service Engineer to join an established Groundcare team based near Guildford. This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys a varied, hands-on role and is looking to develop their skills within the groundcare and agricultural machinery sector

The Role

This is a predominantly mobile Service Engineer position, with the majority of servicing, maintenance and repair work carried out at customer sites across Surrey and the surrounding areas.

You’ll be provided with a fully expensed service vehicle and fuel card, allowing you to travel directly to customers and tackle a wide variety of engineering challenges. No two days are likely to be the same, but you’ll always have the support of the team when needed.

Your customers will include contractors, local authorities, schools, golf courses and private estates, giving you the opportunity to work on a diverse range of groundcare machinery and equipment.

About You

Ideally, you’ll have previous experience within the agricultural, groundcare, plant or related engineering sectors, although product-specific training will be provided.

We’re looking for someone with a strong engineering foundation and practical knowledge of areas such as:

  • Diesel engines
  • Transmissions
  • Electrical systems
  • Hydraulics
  • Mechanical fault-finding and repair

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Full UK driving licence
  • Good working knowledge of diesel engines, transmissions, electrics and hydraulics
  • Strong customer service skills
  • Confident working independently and managing your own workload
  • Maths and English to GCSE level
  • A qualification in Land-Based Engineering would be advantageous, but is not essential

What’s on Offer?

As well as a varied and rewarding engineering role, you’ll receive a comprehensive package designed to support your career, wellbeing and work-life balance, including:

  • Competitive salary and performance-related recognition
  • Fully expensed company service vehicle and fuel card
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing career development
  • Product training and support through Kubota UK
  • Health, wellbeing and lifestyle support, including virtual GP services
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Charity volunteering days
  • Opportunities for formal and on-the-job training
  • A friendly, supportive team environment
  • Social activities and opportunities to connect with colleagues across the wider business

If you’re an experienced Engineer looking for a varied mobile role where you can develop your skills and work with quality groundcare machinery, we’d love to hear from you.

I can’t recommend Kemp Recruitment highly enough. From the very beginning of my job search, the whole team were professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right role. A special mention has to go to Jamie, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and excellent communication made what can often be a stressful experience feel comfortable and completely streamlined. She took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career goals, ensuring every opportunity she put forward was well suited to me. I’d also like to thank Jack and Rob for their support along the way. It’s clear that everyone at Kemp Recruitment works together as a team to provide an outstanding service. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I’ve secured a fantastic career opportunity that aligns perfectly with my skills and experience. I genuinely appreciate all the support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kemp Recruitment to anyone looking for their next role.

Trying to find a new job is challenging and at times overwhelming - most applications seem to go into the ether. Having applied for a job via Kemp Recruitment, I spoke with Shane who was able to give me an overview of the position. He kept me updated and was really positive and encouraging, - just what you need before an interview. I've been successful with an offer of the job, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Shane

Kemp Recruitment couldn’t have been more helpful in securing me a new job as a service engineer. After a quick phone call to understand what I was looking for, Rob and Dave had me an interview secured the following morning. Both Rob and Dave were very attentive throughout the whole process making it as painless as possible. Can’t thank Rob and Dave enough for their best efforts and support.
