Field Service Engineer – Petrol Pumps & Fuel Systems

Build a specialist engineering career with an established UK service business

Are you a practical mechanical or electrical engineer who enjoys diagnosing faults, solving problems and working independently?

Premier Service Ltd is recruiting a home-based Field Service Engineer to service, maintain and repair petrol pumps and associated fuel equipment across the M3 & M4 Corridor, South Coast, Essex and South West areas.

You do not necessarily need previous petrol-pump experience. We are interested in engineers with strong transferable mechanical or electrical skills who can demonstrate a methodical approach to fault-finding, personal accountability and excellent customer service.

In return, you will receive structured product training, support from an experienced technical team and the opportunity to develop specialist expertise in an established and essential industry.

What you will be doing

Working from home and travelling to customer sites within your allocated region, you will:

• Service, maintain and repair petrol pumps and associated forecourt equipment.
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical and electronic faults.
• Complete planned preventative maintenance.
• Respond to equipment breakdowns and restore sites to operation.
• Replace defective components and carry out equipment adjustments.
• Communicate clearly with customers and the PSL service team.
• Complete accurate electronic job reports and service documentation.
• Manage your daily workload and vehicle stock responsibly.
• Work safely and in accordance with company and industry procedures.
• Represent Premier Service Ltd professionally at every customer site.

The role is primarily field-based within the South West, although occasional travel elsewhere may be required.

Previous experience with petrol pumps, tank gauges or forecourt equipment would be advantageous, but it is not essential.
