WHAT KINDS OF EXPERTISE ARE NEEDED?

It’s our people that make us great – with many backgrounds and strengths, we share one goal: to exceed customer expectations. Our staff work within a variety of teams in the following areas:

The Centrax Sales and Marketing team identifies business opportunities with Customers, both new and returning, for the potential sales of gas turbine generator sets. We grow our client relationships and develop their business energy solutions using our knowledge and technical expertise to obtain the perfect fit.

As a leading international power generation company language skills are of great value to us, alongside the core commercial and technical engineering know-how required throughout the process.

Centrax Engineering Services carries out Project Management, Engineering and Installation of Centrax Power Generation equipment.

The Projects team is responsible for delivery of assigned projects on time, to specification and within budget. They are a customer-facing department providing the single point of contact between Centrax and the Customer.

Engineering create the technical solutions that deliver fit-for-purpose products and services to meet the needs of the market and both internal and external customers. A team of highly skilled professional Engineers use the most up-to-date technology and tools to develop their ideas bringing quality, cost-effective products to market.

The Installation team manages the delivery and installation at customer sites of gas turbine generation packages and balance of plant.

The departments within Original Equipment look after Assembly of the generator sets, Procurement, Quality, Engine Repair/Overhaul and Testing.

In Assembly staff work together to produce the Siemens Energy SGT-300, SGT-400 and SGT-A05-powered units which are sold worldwide. Working alongside and supporting the operations are 2 other sections: Fabrication/Welding and Turbine Repair.

Procurement is responsible for both short and long-term activities that are in line with departmental and company strategies. They negotiate supplier contracts to lower total costs, reduce lead times and improve quality standards.

Within Quality there are 3 areas: Testing, Auditing & Compliance and Control/Inspection. All ensure that the products supplied to and by Centrax meet the design and specification required for long-term and reliable services while retaining our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and PED approvals.

Once the generator sets have been sold and installed, this department handles every aspect of supporting our Customers’ requirements.

We have over 70 ‘hands-on’ engineers operating from the UK and depots throughout Europe (Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands) and Tunisia. Their job is to ensure our generator sets, over 300 worldwide, are maintained and kept operational in line with our long-term contractual service agreements and within the current Health and Safety regulations and procedures.

The Head Office in Newton Abbot provides the customer with logistical and technical backup, all aspects of gas turbine repair and overhaul, administration for the service agreements and parts and tooling to maintain the generator sets.

Our Business Systems team provides support to a rapidly growing company. At present there are approximately 250 users across many countries of which 100+ have laptops or are remote users.

Security, reliability and recovery are the team’s main priorities along with providing a good customer service to all users.

With many server devices on the network, to work in our Business Systems team you would need a broad knowledge of IT.

The department is divided into 3 sections:
• Divisional
• Overseas
• Payroll

In an export-driven environment and with a number of overseas depots, filing of financial reports must be done to strict deadlines and timetables. This includes compliancy with overseas tax regimes i.e. supporting overseas professional advisors in the submission of foreign tax returns.

With over 250 employees, many are located overseas requiring liaison with local in-country professional advisors.

HR provides a HRM service to the Directors, Managers and Employees. Particular emphasis is on setting up practices and procedures, including foreign language contracts of employment, job evaluation/recruitment/training and performance management, while keeping up with legislation and best practice.
