Job Description

The Role

As Aftermarket Project Support, you'll be at the centre of a busy and varied aftermarket operation, supporting field service projects, contract delivery, commercial activities and business reporting. Working closely with project managers, engineers, sales teams and suppliers, you'll help ensure customers receive a high-quality service while contributing to the successful delivery of aftermarket projects and services across the UK and, from time to time, supporting activities overseas.

No two days are likely to be the same. Whilst much of your focus will be supporting OOEM projects and CHP contracts, you'll also work across the wider Aftermarket function, providing support wherever needed and gaining exposure to multiple areas of the business.

This position is based at our Peterborough facility offering hybrid working, with occasional travel as required.

Our Peterborough operation provides aftermarket support and services for a wide range of turbo machinery and rotating equipment, helping customers maximise reliability, performance and operational efficiency. From planned maintenance and field service projects through to upgrades, repairs and long-term service agreements, our teams play a vital role in keeping critical assets running.

Joining Howden means becoming part of a global engineering business where collaboration, continuous improvement and customer focus are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you're supporting projects, coordinating service activities or helping drive operational excellence, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact while developing your career within a world-class organisation.
