About The Role
We are looking for a field maintenance technician, ideally based in Lyon or the surrounding area, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, to join our after-sales service team and carry out work at our customers’ sites in France and, occasionally, abroad.
This role involves carrying out preventive and corrective maintenance, as well as inspections and repairs on cremation equipment and ancillary equipment at clients’ premises throughout France, as well as in Belgium (Wallonia) and French-speaking Switzerland, to ensure the safe, reliable and efficient operation of our systems whilst delivering a high standard of customer service. You will work flexibly to meet the needs of the company and its customers, and represent the company professionally in the field.
Important points to note before applying:
This role is subject to an annual fixed number of working days, up to a maximum of 218 days per year. You will have genuine autonomy in organising your working days, whilst following a general schedule set each week in consultation with our offices. Your working time is measured in days, in accordance with the National Collective Agreement for the Metalworking Industry.
Overnight travel is an integral part of the role. Client sites are spread throughout France, as well as in Belgium (Wallonia) and French-speaking Switzerland. You should therefore expect to spend nights away from home on a regular basis (usually four nights a week).
This role would suit an experienced or versatile maintenance technician who values autonomy, a varied range of tasks and direct contact with clients, and who wishes to join a stable international engineering company with long-term growth plans.
About You
Required skills and qualifications
- A recognised qualification in electricity or electrical engineering at Bac Pro, BTS/DUT level or equivalent (e.g. Bac Pro MELEC, BTS in Electrical Engineering, BTS in Systems Maintenance), or equivalent experience.
- Proven experience in troubleshooting and repairing industrial equipment or capital assets, gained in an engineering, manufacturing or on-site service environment.
- Solid knowledge of electrical systems combined with good mechanical skills, as well as the ability to read electrical diagrams, mechanical drawings and technical manuals.
- Ability to work independently, organise your own schedule and travel arrangements, and take responsibility for the tasks carried out.
- Availability and willingness to travel regularly, including overnight stays away from home, and occasional travel outside France.
- Valid driving licence (Category B).
- Professional proficiency in French (role involves contact with customers in France).
- Good IT skills: laptops, diagnostic software, mobile devices and corporate systems for reporting and record-keeping.
Desirable skills and qualifications
- Dual qualification (electrical and mechanical).
- Valid electrical accreditation (e.g. B2V/BR/BC) – training will be provided if necessary.
- Experience in the combustion, incineration, cremation or thermal treatment sectors, or with systems running on gas or fuel oil.
- Previous experience as an on-site maintenance technician.
- Practical knowledge of English for technical documentation and collaboration with colleagues within the group.
We value a strong customer focus, a calm and methodical approach under pressure, clear communication and an unwavering commitment to safety, quality and compliance.
