Service Technician

This role plays a critical part in sustaining Rolls-Royce’s position as a regional hub for engine overhaul and component repair, ensuring high-quality delivery, turnaround time, and technical excellence across workshop operations.

You will operate in a high-utilization, production-critical environment, where precision, ownership, and technical depth are non-negotiable.

What you will be doing:

• Perform overhaul, disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of diesel engines and key components such as:

• Cylinder heads
• Water pumps
• Turbochargers

• Execute maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair activities for mtu engines and associated power generation systems in the workshop and occasionally at site.
• Diagnose faults across mechanical systems, fuel systems (injectors, pumps, governors), and auxiliary systems, ensuring root cause identification.
• Support engine testing and commissioning activities, including troubleshooting during bench testing.
• Ensure all work is completed in accordance with OEM manuals, technical documentation, and quality standards.
• Deliver against turnaround time (TAT), quality, and production targets in a high-demand workshop environment.
• Prepare technical service and investigation reports, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Provide technical guidance to junior technicians, including interpretation of drawings and use of tools.
• Maintain strict compliance with Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) standards and internal safety requirements.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance productivity, efficiency, and workshop capability.
• Travel regionally when required to support service or technical assignments.

Position requirements:

• NITEC / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in:

• Diesel engines
• Power generation systems (gensets)
• Heavy equipment or marine engines

• Strong experience in engine overhaul and component repair, not just maintenance.
• Proven ability to work on fuel systems (injectors, pumps, governors) and rotating equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and OEM manuals.
• Strong troubleshooting capability with a structured, root-cause approach.
• Comfortable working in a high-utilization, production-driven workshop environment.
• Willingness to travel regionally when required.

Preferred qualifications

• Prior experience with mtu engines or Rolls-Royce Power Systems products.
• Exposure to power generation applications, marine engines, or industrial diesel engines.
• Experience with CNC machines or precision repair processes for engine components.
• Familiarity with governmental or regulated equipment environments is an advantage.
