Commissioning Engineer - UK & European Travel

Are you a Commissioning Engineer looking for a role that offers variety, international travel, and a genuinely supportive employer?

We're working with a growing, specialist engineering business (circa 40 employees) that acts as a technical agent for sterile process equipment across major blue-chip pharmaceutical sites. Due to continued growth, they're now looking to bring an additional Commissioning Engineer into the team.

The Role:
You'll be responsible for commissioning and supporting high-spec sterile process equipment on customer sites across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. This is a hands-on, field-based role offering exposure to complex projects in highly regulated environments.

  • Regular travel across the UK, Ireland, and Europe

  • Projects can range from a few days to several weeks depending on scope

  • Minimal weekend work

  • Strong focus on work-life balance, with flexibility and support around travel (including trips home where needed)

What's on Offer:

  • Salary circa £50,000 (flexible depending on experience)

  • Approx. £12,000 annual overnight allowance

  • £750 annual lunch allowance

  • Annual bonus (typically around 8%)

  • Estimated OTE circa £66,000 (before overtime)

  • Overtime available, with emphasis on time off in lieu

  • Company car, credit card, laptop, and tools provided

  • Pension starting at 4% employer contribution (increasing with service)

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with buy/sell options)

  • Christmas shutdown period

This is a business that genuinely values its engineers - they understand the demands of travel and make a real effort to ensure time away is balanced with quality time at home.

If you're looking for a role where you'll be trusted, supported, and well-rewarded, this could be a great next step.
