Summary:
This is a diverse and rewarding field-based role focused on the installation, commissioning, servicing, and maintenance of commercial fuel infrastructure and associated electrical systems across the UK.
You will be involved in a wide range of projects, from full new-build refuelling installations to the upgrade and ongoing maintenance of existing fuel storage and dispensing systems.
The position combines hands-on electrical installation, fault diagnosis, commissioning, and customer support, offering an excellent opportunity to build specialist expertise within a niche and expanding industry.
Working both independently and collaboratively, you will represent Octane on client sites, delivering high standards of workmanship alongside exceptional customer service.
While prior experience within the fuel industry would be beneficial, comprehensive product and industry training will be provided through our in-house development programme.
As an Electrical Field Engineer at Octane Holdings, you will play a key role in maintaining and optimising electrical systems within the utilities sector. Based in Bradford, Yorkshire, this is a permanent, full-time role suited to a proactive individual who can work autonomously as well as part of a team to deliver high-quality solutions that meet both industry standards and client expectations.
