Field Service Engineer
Glasgow base (Bellshill) | Permanent | UK-wide travel | Use of Company vehicle
Looking for a role where your work will be recognised and your skills enhanced?
At Elimpus, we're a specialist, not a giant. We design, install and run condition monitoring across the UK electricity network. Partial discharge, circuit breaker monitoring, SF6 gas density, transformer DGA. When a substation stays up instead of going dark, that is the kit doing its job.
In the business you'll know everyone, your work will be visible, and there's a genuine route to becoming the technical lead in a growing niche for the right person. We're ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 accredited, Achilles UVDB Silver Plus verified, and we hold a Silver Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. We train properly and we promote from within.
What you would actually be doing
- Installing new condition monitoring systems, including subsystems and comms, inside live HV compounds
- Partial discharge (PD) monitors, circuit breaker condition monitoring, SF6 gas density monitoring, transformer dissolved gas analysers
- Site surveys and electrical testing
- Removing and relocating existing systems
- Corrective maintenance when something needs sorted
- Looking after spares and service equipment back at base
- Writing the reports and documentation clients make decisions from
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two weeks look the same. No two sites look the same either.
Where it could lead
The plan is for you to become the PD specialist and lead for the field service team. If you have the desire and the work ethic the career path is there. You will get the training, the support and the backing to pick up further accreditations as you go.
The travel
Regular travel across the UK. Which is changeable, but typically 2 - 3 nights every other week. We plan in advance as best we can to offer some flexibility. Use of Company vehicles and overnight stay allowance. (There may be work further afield in future if that appeals)
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
