Working at Centrax can open up opportunities to travel internationally to our offices and project sites throughout Europe. This gives you the chance to expand language skills, experience cultural differences in business practices, as well as to learn how financial and legal structures differ between countries.

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.
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.
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.

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