The role
We are looking for a Technician to join our Peterborough workshop and warehouse team, servicing, repairing and refurbishing high-quality commercial catering equipment built by the world-leading German manufacturer, RATIONAL AG.
We would particularly like to hear from experienced technicians who already know this sector and can bring that knowledge into a small, established team. We are equally happy to consider recently qualified electrical technicians who want to build genuine specialist expertise. The salary range reflects your level of experience.
This is a workshop-based role working on premium equipment to manufacturer standards. Hours are 8:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, with the occasional early start around exhibition deadlines, but no call-out rota.
How we work
We’re a small team, and the people doing the job have a real say in how it’s done. If something’s inefficient or a process could work better, we’d rather hear it than have you work around it. You’d raise it with the operations manager or the MD directly: no tickets, no committee, and usually an answer or a change in place the same week.
Key responsibilities
- Service, diagnose, repair and refurbish commercial catering equipment
- Electrical fault-finding, plus gas work where you hold the relevant accreditation
- Testing and commissioning in line with manufacturer standards
- Recording work, test readings and photographs in our job system as you go
- Maintaining high standards of safety, quality and workmanship
- Working primarily within the Peterborough workshop and warehouse
What you’ll need
- A recognised electrical qualification
- Sound fault-finding and problem-solving ability
- To be reliable and well organised, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team
- To be comfortable working on a computer, tablet or phone, as all job records, test results and photographs are logged in our own system as the work is done
What will set you apart
- Commercial gas accreditation (CCN1, COMCAT5 and LPG crossover). Desirable, but not essential
- Experience servicing or refurbishing commercial catering equipment
- Familiarity with combination ovens and pressure cooking appliances
- The ability to work to a manufacturer’s technical standards and documentation
- A full UK driving licence
Newly qualified? Please still apply.
If you hold a recognised electrical qualification and want to specialise, we will provide the necessary training. Gas accreditation is a bonus, not a requirement.
What we offer
- Regular Monday-to-Friday hours, workshop-based, with no call-out rota and no regular long-distance travel
- Manufacturer training and full technical documentation
- A purpose-built job system: no paper job sheets, and everything you need on one screen
- A small, supportive technical team where your work is visible
- Long-term career prospects with a settled employer
