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.
