Field Based_SCO Full time

Bring your energy to Aggreko as Project Engineer, based in the UK (with travel to customer sites). The role may need to work offshore from time to time approx 2 -3 occasions a week at a time .

You’ll support the design, build and delivery of engineered solutions across a wide range of UK projects, working closely with our Design and Project Delivery teams to turn concepts into operational installations.

Power without pause. Heating, cooling and oil-free air without end. We keep our customers’ worlds on. From world-class events that last a few weeks to mining operations and remote communities who rely on us for decades.

What you’ll do as Project Engineer:

  • Lead the initial technical scoping of customer projects, developing solutions in partnership with Design Engineers and the wider Project Delivery Team.
  • Translate customer requirements into engineering plans, drawings and documentation, ensuring compliance with industry codes and internal standards.
  • Support build activities in the workshop before mobilisation, then oversee installation, commissioning and handover on customer sites.
  • Provide hands-on support with electro-mechanical equipment, controls, and BMS systems, including troubleshooting during installation phases.
  • Deliver projects across the full lifecycle while ensuring safety, quality, and engineering best practice throughout.

You are:

  • Experienced in electro‑mechanical engineering, ideally with exposure to chillers, cooling equipment, HVAC, or related industrial/rental sectors.
  • Familiar with BMS, controls logic, and interpreting code/industry standards.
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid role: around 30% desk‑based, 30% workshop, 40% site-based.
  • Flexible and willing to travel, including spending 2–6 week periods on project sites across the UK.
  • Qualified through a degree (Mechanical/Electrical) or a vocational route such as NVQ/HNC/HND, with strong practical engineering capability.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • The opportunity to work on diverse, high-impact UK projects with a supportive and collaborative team.
  • Access to specialist training and development tailored to engineering and project delivery roles.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits and annual leave package, plus opportunities for progression within Project Delivery or Engineering.
  • The chance to build expertise across design, controls, commissioning, and site engineering — with genuine career growth.
