Commercial Catering Engineers

People Team • Jan 31, 2022

Locations: Northeast London / West London

Salary: £38,000 - £55,000 per annum


We are a nationwide company who specialise in Catering and Refrigeration maintenance working for high end customers. With our expanding customer portfolio, MCFT are looking for experienced COMCAT Commercial Catering Engineers that can work as part of a dynamic team, who can effectively manage customers’ expectations and are proud to do a ‘better than average’ job.

Our philosophy is simple; offering a value for money service, doing a professional job and communicating effectively with each other.

There are regular opportunities to do more than your guaranteed 40 hours each week, (Monday to Friday), this includes door to door travel.

Our engineers drive a Renault Trafic van, have fuel cards and have auto pay parking, toll charges and congestion charges – the van is also available for personal use.

How we work:

Each engineer manages their own customer sites within a workable area, we don’t believe in travelling for hours to get to a site, its non-productive. Our customers want the same engineer to look after them, which means building lasting relationships with the customer and their teams.

Being part of a team:

You’re not a number here, you are known by your name, can get a little tricky as we have 7 Chris’s and 3 in the same team! The customers we work with want the same person to go to their kitchen, which means we build lasting relationships with our customers and our engineers stay – we are not recruiting new engineers to replace people, we are most defiantly recruiting engineers to service, support and manage our expanding customer portfolio.

  • COMCATs 1,2,3 & 5 + LPG
  • Electrically qualified / time served
  • Knowledge and experience working on a variety of catering equipment
  • Proven record of building strong relationships with customers and colleagues
  • Driving licence is a must

What you’ll get in return:

  • Door-to-door hourly rate
  • Award winning training and development – Internal, external and manufacturer training – such as, Rational, Hobart, Meiko, MKN, Winterhalter (if you need it )
  • 36 days leave per annum (which includes UK bank holidays)
  • Professionally kitted out van, which has a professional racking system, sat nav and is air-conditioned.
  • Option to use the van for personal use
  • IT kit available, a Samsung Galaxy Phone and paperless job sheets
  • Excellent opportunities for progression
  • Health cash plan from day one
  • Pension scheme
  • Income protection
  • Economic reviews along with performance reviews

Our Company:

MCFT, established over 30 years ago, provides commercial kitchen maintenance for high-end customers in the UK and the Middle East; we joke that we won’t work with customers unless we’ve heard of them - and it’s mostly true. We’re also highly regarded by all the key players in our multi-national supply chain.

Our ambition is to be the pre-eminent provider in our field - in the UK and, importantly, overseas - where we have ambitions to be working around the world. That ambition is supported by a fantastic Business Improvement Team - who work on new and future systems, enable our field and office teams and give us the facility to tailor our services to evolving customer needs.

We believe our array of HR Awards testify to the genuine importance we attach to our team: we don’t have widgets or fancy software - our offer is around our people: if they are excellent at their jobs, we will have a great business.

We work at being good with our people:

Renumeration - among the best in the industry - coupled with a stake in the business

Opportunity - our growth gives us a range of roles and locations where we need talent

Development - unparalleled training - in soft and commercial skills as well as technical

Work and workplace - we chose to work for and with outstanding people - and this is a business where your contribution makes a real difference.

We like the cultural precepts of Lean: lead with humility, respect for people, small teams, engagement and self-accountability. Whilst leading from the front with sleeves rolled up, getting stuck into the entrails of the business…
