Meet The Team – Service Engineer – Alistair Dixon

Name: Alistair Dixon

Job title: Service Engineer

Home town: Milnthorpe

Worked at Catering Partnership since: September 2015

Key responsibilities at Catering Partnership: Repairs and servicing of commercial catering and laundry equipment.

Describe a typical day working at Catering Partnership: After receiving my jobs for the day, I will sort out the most efficient route, taking into consideration the urgency of the jobs, any gas leaks or problems in schools or care homes will be prioritised.

After visiting site and diagnosing the problem, I will liaise with suppliers to get the parts ordered and sent out as soon as practicable, or arrange installation a new machine if more appropriate.

The best thing about my job is: No two days are ever the same, and I enjoy getting equipment up and running again.

Outside work, my time is spent: With three kids under 7 years old I don’t get a lot of free time, But whenever I can I try to get out on my Mountain bike, and myself and the other engineers have a group ride on Thursday night where we try and find the biggest scariest hills in the Lakes to throw ourselves down.

My life-long ambition is: To try and find enough time to get everything done. (Never going to happen)
