Do you want to join a global company and get experience across the Middle East to kick start your career as a technician? Then our graduate technician trainee programme is what you’re looking for… 

We’re Aggreko 

We're the global leader in providing energy solutions that help businesses grow and communities thrive. 

We work as a team and we’re proud of the difference we make to customers, to local communities, and towards a sustainable future for the world.  

Aggreko in the Middle East 

Across the Middle East, we electrify events from the Formula 1 in Qatar to Formula E in Riyadh. We're helping customers to reduce their environmental impact, like CCED in Oman where we convert flared gas into greener electricity. And we help crank up the volume to make MDL Beast the loudest music concert in the region, and keep everyone cool at The Diriyah Seasons Festival.  

Our graduate technician trainee programme 

As a graduate trainee technician, you’ll primarily focus on mechanical & electrical systems within generators, however this will be complemented by training in temperature control (HVAC) systems. You’ll join a comprehensive 18-month development programme, based in either the UAE or Bahrain with short placements in other depots across the region. Each rotation consists of on-the-job training, classroom training and e-learning. And at the end of the programme, you’ll be confident in the mechanical & electrical maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of power generators and other equipment, and ready to move into a technician role in Aggreko Middle East and Africa.  

Why join us as a trainee?  

Our programme is designed to give you a wide variety of professional experiences across the Middle East. You’ll have the opportunity to work in our depots, at world-class events and on client sites. 

Although we're sixty years old, it doesn't feel like it when you work here. You can expect the professionalism and high standards of a larger company – yet you won’t be pigeon-holed into a narrow role. 

The sense of teamwork is unique – ‘together’ is one of our core values – and we make sure people feel welcome and included, so they can be themselves at work. 

What we’re looking for: 

We’re looking for motivated individuals with the relevant engineering bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) who speak business level English and want to learn and develop their career.  

You’ll need to have a sense of adventure as you’ll be working across the Middle East. It’s helpful if you already have a local or international driving license, but if not, you’ll be committed to learn when you join. 

We’ll help sort the relevant visas with you, but you will need a valid passport with at least 9 months’ validity. 

Quick checklist: 

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or electrical engineering (or equivalent qualifications)  

You’ll be able and willing to travel across the Middle East 

Valid driving license (local or international) or willing to learn  

Business level English 

Valid passport with a minimum validity of 12 months 

Motivated and keen to learn and develop your career with us
