Arden Personnel is recruiting for a long-established, family-run manufacturer and distributor in Redditch who are growing their machinery division. They’re looking for a technically sharp, customer-focused Quality, Repairs & Installation Engineer to install and support specialist adhesive application machinery for B2B manufacturers across the UK and worldwide.

Travel expectation: typically one USA trip per month, sometimes week-long trips

What we’re looking for

Essential

Proven experience with mechanical and/or electrical machinery/equipment

Strong fault-finding ability (diagnose, don’t just swap parts)

Structured, solutions-led approach with good documentation habits

Confident customer communication (video/phone and on-site)

Able to work from technical documentation (manuals, drawings, installation instructions)

Willingness to travel UK and internationally (incl. regular USA travel)

Organised, able to work independently and manage follow-ups

Full UK driving licence

Desirable (not essential)

Electrical qualification (e.g., 18th Edition) or recognised engineering qualification

Experience installing/commissioning machinery

What’s in it for you? (Benefits)

40 hours per week

30 days annual leave (including bank holidays), increasing with service

NEST pension contribution at 5%
