Integral to the role will be keeping equipment in good working order through planned maintenance, as well as carrying out any diagnostic and repair work when required.

At the advanced level, you’ll undertake a more complex role with broader duties that could include selling, installing and using new and existing land-based equipment, or supervising a workshop where equipment is maintained and repaired. All engineering roles will require a high level of technical ability and a passion for fixing things.
