About this role
Commercial Catering Equipment Installation Engineer
Field-based | London & surrounding areas | Permanent, full-time
The opportunity (why you’ll want this role)
If you take pride in quality, well-finished commercial kitchen installs—and prefer proper project work over rushed, “in-and-out” volume jobs—this one’s worth a look.
You’ll be joining a well-established commercial kitchen business with a strong reputation for delivering professional installations and building long-term client relationships.
You’ll work on a genuinely varied mix of sites, from smaller community and independent venues through to larger multi-site operators—so the work stays interesting and you’ll keep learning.
What you’ll be doing day-to-day
You’ll be trusted to run your work properly, with a focus on doing it right first time
- Full commercial kitchen installations (fabrication and equipment)
- Installation / replacement of individual catering appliances and equipment
- Working alongside other trades and main contractors on live sites
- Reading and following drawings accurately, with attention to finish and detail
- Diagnosing installation issues and resolving them independently
- Keeping a professional, customer-facing presence on site
(Your background should be strongly installation-led, with the confidence to problem-solve on site—this is a role with real ownership.)
What we’re looking for
You’ll be a strong fit if you have
- Solid commercial catering installation experience
- The ability to work independently and take ownership of jobs
- Clear, professional communication on client sites
- High standards and attention to detail
- Confidence coordinating around other trades / contractors
Nice to have (not essential)
- COMCAT qualifications (particularly 1, 3 and 5)
Working hours
- Monday–Friday
- 07:30–16:30
- Some flexibility may be required depending on project demands
- Very occasional weekend work available (overtime basis)
Package & kit
-
Salary
£40k - £50k DOE
- Company van + fuel card
- Company phone
- Uniform provided
- 5 weeks’ holiday
- Permanent, full-time employment
Travel / staying away
Paid travel time isn’t included unless travel exceeds normal home-to-work mileage. If a job requires staying away, accommodation is paid.
Why this role stands out
- Long-term, stable opportunity with an established business
- Varied projects (not the same repetitive site work)
- Quality-focused installs (not rushed volume service work)
- A team environment where standards and reputation matter
