Lead Catering Equipment Engineer Build Something That Doesnt Exist Yet There are roles you step into, and then there are roles you build. This is the second kind. STSUK are creating a catering engineering capability from the ground up in partnership with a leading hospitality design and fit-out business, working with some of the most recognised operators in the North West. 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 are The 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 want a 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 is This 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 Director The part most roles dont offer You 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 here This 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 say I 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 thought there must be a better way of doing this , then this is your opportunity to prove it. TPBN1_UKTJ
