There is no inherited team, no legacy processes exist, no this is how weve always done it.Just a blank sheet and the right person to shape it.
Maybe you areThe engineer who has quietly been thinking about going on your own
Youve got the ability, the reputation, probably even a few clients who would follow you but the reality of running a business pulls you back. The paperwork. The risk. The quiet months.You dont actually wanta job.
You want ownership just without the downside.
Or perhaps youre the one everyone already goes to
The person colleagues call when something isnt straightforward.
Youre training others without the title, carrying more than your fair share, and starting to wonder what the next five years looks like if nothing changes.Youve hit your ceiling even if no one has said it out loud.
You might already be on your own
Doing good work, but spending too much time chasing it.
Quoting, invoicing, managing cashflow, doing everything and missing being part of something bigger.You didnt get into engineering to sit behind a laptop.
Or you could be working for a manufacturer or FM contract
Technically excellent, but stuck in repetition.
Same equipment, different sites. Same expectations, regardless of how good you actually are.You know youve got more to give than this.
What this actually isThis is not a fill a van and attend jobs role.This is the foundation of an entire division.You will be the first catering equipment engineer within STSUK
and the standard that every engineer who follows will be measured against.You will:

• Set the technical benchmark for the business
• Build the working procedures, standards and training framework
• Work directly with high-profile hospitality clients
• Mentor and develop the engineers who join after you
• Shape how this division grows not just how it runs

And over time, step into a clear pathway:Lead Engineer ? Training Lead ? Operations DirectorThe part most roles dont offerYou wont be asked to fit into something that already exists.Youll be asked to build it.Everything you create in the first year
the standards, the training, the way things are done
that becomes the blueprint.Your name is on it.
What matters hereThis will suit someone who:

• Takes pride in doing things properly even when no one is watching
• Diagnoses, doesnt guess
• Cares about the outcome, not just completing the job
• Naturally brings others up to their level
• Wants to build something they can look back on and sayI created that

The technical bar is high it needs to be, but mindset is what will define success in this role.
Package

• £40,000 £50,000 basic (depending on experience)
• Share option potential within the new venture
• Private medical, pension, and enhanced holiday
• Up to 150 hours training per year
• Fully equipped van, tools, and support infrastructure
• Most importantly a genuine route into senior leadership

Most roles ask you to maintain something, very few ask you to create it.If youve ever thoughtthere must be a better way of doing this, then this is your opportunity to prove it.

• Real-time network/service performance lead
• Strong customer focus and commercial awareness
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and external partners
• The ability to spot trends, think strategically and drive change
• A collaborative leadership style-this role is key to an integrated, high-performing team

Experience within the water industry or network-based environments is highly desirable.

You’ll be:

• Taking over from a long-standing, highly respected leader
• Leading a critical operational function with real visibility and impact
