Junior Field Service Engineer – Electrically and Mechanically capable
The following information aims to provide potential candidates with a better understanding of the requirements for this role.
Midlands – Home Based / Field Based, Electrical Bias | Full Product Training Provided
Are you an electrically capable engineer looking to develop your career as a Field Service Engineer working on sophisticated industrial machinery?
This is an excellent opportunity to join an established British engineering manufacturer that designs and builds its own range of industrial machinery.
You'll receive training on the company's machines and technology. What matters is that you have a good electrical foundation, can understand how machinery works and enjoy fault finding and solving technical problems.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll work from home, travelling to manufacturing customers predominantly across the South of England to:
- Service, maintain and repair industrial machinery
- Install and commission new machines
- Diagnose electrical, control-system and mechanical faults
- Read and work from electrical schematics
- Use diagnostic tools and remote monitoring technology to identify problems
- Carry out preventative maintenance
- Train customers in the operation of their machines
- Work alongside experienced engineers when tackling more complex technical issues
- Provide customers with a professional, helpful technical service
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
