As the world’s industry-leading specialist in drive technology, we’re pleased to have recently strengthened our sales and engineering divisions in the UK with two new team members.
James Scott has joined us as a digital specialist and condition monitoring specialist, whilst Liam Taylor has joined as a marketing coordinator and sales support engineer.
James brings 13 years of engineering expertise to his role, having worked as a mobile field engineer prior to joining the team at SEW-EURODRIVE. His previous experience spans multiple engineer and technician roles, working for companies such as Amazon, Imperium Automation, GE Energy and Invar Integration.
A qualified multi-skilled maintenance engineer, James has worked with SEW-EURODRIVE products since he began his career as an apprentice, whether changing failed gearmotors, or installing and commissioning drives on a wide range of machinery.
His last role was specialised within the logistics industry, working on electronics and controls breakdowns, installations, and maintenance.
James’ role at SEW-EURODRIVE will see him looking after our condition-based monitoring software DriveRadar®, which generates data about how components are behaving in day-to-day operations, predicting when failures may occur, and avoiding unexpected downtime.
Liam has joined us after previously working as a project management office analyst at consumer credit reporting agency TransUnion, where he supported key stakeholders on the effective delivery of change across the organisation.
Liam has a degree in live events production from the Academy of Live Technology, where he learnt transferable skills in technical, management, and design areas of the live events industry.
No stranger to SEW-EURODRIVE, Liam spent three months working here on a summer placement a few years ago, stripping down motors and gearboxes and learning the ins and outs of drive technology.
Liam’s role as marketing coordinator is new to the company, and sees him assisting with the marketing, branding, and advertising strategies, as we seek to ramp up our profile in partnership with Fantastic Media.
He also works within the electronics department, organising customer training and site visits, alongside helping out with enquiries and orders, and supporting with drive assembly when needed.
Speaking about the new hires, Andy Turner, our sales and operations manager, said: “We’re really excited to welcome James and Liam onboard. They bring a great mix of expertise and new ideas to the company, with joint experience across a range of roles.
“James’ vast experience as a multi-skilled engineer will boost the skillset of our service department, while Liam’s new role as a marketing coordinator will see SEW-EURODRIVE UK striving to hit new heights.
“As the company continues to move forward, both will both play a big part in our future growth, as we continue to lead and innovate in the world of drives.”
We're always looking for talented and motivated people who want to help shape the future of drive technology, with roles spanning sales, service, production, and engineering. Visit our careers page today to find out about the latest opportunities near you.
