We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Service engineer as per the Job description below.

The engineer will be based in Brighouse so need to live local, say Leeds, Rochdale, Skipton, Huddersfield as they will be expected to work in the factory when necessary.

We need someone who is experienced in working on large Milling machines and is ready to hit the ground running with minimal training other than product specific.

The Company:                   Asquith Butler Ltd.

Based:                                Brighouse West Yorkshire

Type of job:                        Full-time, Permanent

Salary range :                    £46,000 a year ( plus overtime )

Job Role:                            Experienced Multi Skilled Field Service Engineer ( predominantly Mechanically biased )

 

Location: Based in Brighouse ( HD6 ) but travelling throughout the UK (generally between south Wales and the Scottish border)

 

Who are we?

The Asquith Butler story began in the 1860’s with William Asquith and James Ryder Butler both starting the manufacture of machine tools of all types. Asquith saw the need to specialise and settled on a range of Drilling and Boring machines, many of which are still in use worldwide today.  Butler carried on making a range of all types of machine up until the first world war when necessity lead to specialisation in reciprocating machines ( Planers, Shapers and Slotters).

Both companies experienced competition from abroad during the 1960’s with continental machines becoming more readily available and technological changes with cutting methods. Butlers developed the large Plano-Miller rotating tool machines to replace the planers whilst Asquith developed Large Horizontal Floor Borers.

The company’s changed ownership over the years and specialisation lead to a range of Asquith Portal Gantry machines and Butler Horizontal Elgamills being the backbone of the merged company Asquith Butler.

Today Asquith Butler has shrunk in size and evolved to be a Service and Spares based business supporting our customers worldwide no matter what size their company may be.

As part of the Kingsbury Jig and Tool Group, we have the backing to provide a good opportunity to the right candidate and are in the enviable position of being able to build on our past success, and plan a bigger future.

With business growth potential as well as constant investment in our workplace and employees, Asquith Butler is an interesting place to be.
