About The Position

This is a hands-on field role for technicians who already know their way around engines and want to operate at a higher level. At Level 3, you’re not just turning wrenches. You’re diagnosing failures, leading jobs, mentoring others, and understanding why systems fail, not just how to fix them. If you’ve worked on diesel engines, marine systems, or heavy industrial equipment and you’re ready to step into more ownership in the field, this is where that happens. The Service Engineer, Engines (Level 3) performs advanced maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) work on diesel engines, auxiliary systems, and related equipment across field and workshop environments. This role focuses on diagnostics, root cause analysis, and leading field execution, including complex overhauls, system troubleshooting, and on-site machining. You’ll work independently, lead teams when needed, and interact directly with customers and internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality service outcomes.
