What the Service Engineer Role Involves

The successful candidates will provide technical and after-sales support for SANY equipment. The work combines field engineering, maintenance, troubleshooting and direct customer support.

Installation and Commissioning

Service Engineers will assemble, install and commission equipment in line with manufacturer specifications and relevant industry standards.

The role also involves testing machines after installation to confirm that they operate correctly and safely.

Maintenance and Repairs

Preventive maintenance is an important part of the position. Engineers will work to reduce equipment downtime and help extend the useful life of machines.

The job also involves diagnosing mechanical, electrical and hydraulic faults, identifying defective components and carrying out appropriate repairs or replacements.

Technical Support for Customers

Engineers will provide technical assistance to customers who need help with equipment operation, maintenance or troubleshooting.

This requires more than technical knowledge. Engineers should also be able to explain problems and recommended solutions clearly to customers and other stakeholders.

Field Service

The position involves responding to service requests and visiting customer or equipment sites to inspect machines and assess their condition.

Engineers may also need to coordinate service visits with customers and work according to changing field requirements.

Service Records and Reporting

Accurate documentation is another part of the role.

Service Engineers will maintain records such as:

• Maintenance logs
• Repair reports
• Inspection findings
• Equipment service history
• Performance reports
• Potential equipment improvement areas

Good documentation helps technical teams track recurring problems and monitor equipment performance over time.

Qualifications and Experience

Applicants should have a degree or diploma in Mechanical, Electrical or Mechatronics Engineering.

The employer also requires 3–5 years of experience in field service and equipment maintenance.

A relevant academic qualification alone may therefore not be enough. Candidates should be able to demonstrate practical experience working with heavy equipment or related technical systems.

Technical Skills Required

SANY Nigeria is looking for candidates with strong knowledge of:

• Hydraulic systems
• Electrical systems
• Mechanical systems
• Equipment maintenance
• Fault diagnosis
• Technical troubleshooting
• Problem-solving

Experience with the specific equipment named in the vacancy is particularly important. Applicants should identify their area of specialization rather than submitting a generic engineering CV.

Other Qualities the Employer Values

The vacancy also highlights several practical requirements.

Candidates should have:

• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
• The ability to provide customer-focused technical support.
• Willingness to travel.
• Flexibility to work according to field-service requirements.

Because service engineers work directly with equipment and customers, the ability to communicate technical information clearly can be just as important as diagnosing a mechanical or electrical problem.

Salary and Benefits

The advertisement does not provide a specific salary figure. Instead, SANY Nigeria states that the position comes with a competitive salary and benefits package.

The company also mentions professional growth and development opportunities and a collaborative working environment.

Applicants should therefore confirm the detailed compensation package during the recruitment process rather than relying on an estimated salary.

Who Should Apply?

This vacancy is particularly suited to technical professionals who already have practical experience servicing heavy equipment.

For example, an applicant specializing in excavators should clearly identify excavator maintenance and troubleshooting experience in the CV. The same applies to candidates specializing in cranes, pump trucks or road rollers.

A CV that simply says “Mechanical Engineer” may not communicate the specific expertise the employer is looking for. Make your equipment specialization easy to find.

For technical positions like this, your CV should clearly connect your engineering qualification with your field-service experience, equipment specialization and measurable responsibilities. See How to Write a Professional CV in Nigeria for practical guidance on presenting your experience and skills clearly.

How to Strengthen Your Application

Before sending your CV, check that it clearly includes:

1. Your engineering qualification.
2. Your years of field-service experience.
3. Your specialist equipment.
4. Your experience with hydraulic, electrical or mechanical systems.
5. Relevant maintenance and troubleshooting experience.
6. Your preferred SANY location.

Most importantly, state your specialist equipment and preferred location in the application, as specifically requested by the employer.

If you are submitting a supporting application message, use it to briefly explain your relevant equipment experience, field-service background and interest in the position.

Application Deadline

The vacancy was posted on August 10, 2026, and the stated application deadline is August 24, 2026.

Since several equipment-specific positions are being recruited across different locations, applicants should make their specialization clear when submitting their CV.

How to Apply

Interested and qualified candidates should send their CV to:

AwoyomiA@sanygroup.com

Use Service Engineer as the email subject and clearly state your specialist equipment — crane, excavator, pump truck or road roller — together with your preferred location.

Final Advice for Applicants

This is a specialized service-engineering recruitment rather than a general graduate engineering vacancy. The strongest applications are likely to be those that clearly demonstrate practical experience maintaining and troubleshooting the relevant heavy equipment.

Before applying, check that your qualification, field-service experience and equipment specialization match the requirements. Also state your preferred location clearly so the recruitment team can route your application appropriately.
