Field Service Engineers (Mechanical, Electrical or Controls)
Location: UK-based with extensive UK and international travel
Salary: Dependent on experience plus travel allowances
The Opportunity
A growing engineering business is looking for a Field Service Engineer to join its team, working on specialist process equipment and industrial control systems across the UK and internationally.
This is a varied role combining hands-on engineering, commissioning, fault finding and customer interaction. Candidates with a background in electrical, mechanical or control systems engineering will be considered, with full training provided to develop your skills across the wider equipment and systems.
You'll take ownership of your work, manage site activities and build customer relationships while working on bespoke engineering solutions.
Willingness to travel extensively is essential. Expect to spend around 70 to 80% of your time away from home, including international travel, overnight stays and occasional short-notice trips.
