Job title: Field Services Technician (Nights)
A well-established transportation technology provider, supplying fare collection and payment systems to public transit authorities across the UK and internationally, is expanding its field operations team to support a growing base of live deployments.
This is a Field Technician role with genuine hands-on ownership over installation, maintenance, and repair of ticketing and payment infrastructure across an existing network of transit sites, in a business that is scaling its service delivery rather than starting from scratch.
What’s in it for you:
- Long-term stability in essential infrastructure, meaning consistent work and strong job security in a sector that does not slow down.
- Join a team with real longevity and strong culture, where many vacancies exist due to retirement and internal promotions rather than churn, showing people build careers here.
- Home-start working with a fully equipped vehicle, reducing daily commuting and giving you more control over your time.
- Clear progression into senior technician or team leader roles, offering a future pathway rather than remaining static in a field role.
