Are you a hands-on engineer looking for a varied field-based role?

Barker Ross is recruiting on behalf of a leading specialist in mechanised irrigation and water management. We are looking for an experienced Field Service Engineer to join a growing team, providing installation, servicing, maintenance and repair of specialist irrigation equipment across the UK.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys being out on the road, solving technical problems and working with a wide range of mechanical, hydraulic, diesel and electrical systems.

No two days will be the same. You will spend the majority of your time working at customer sites, with occasional workshop-based duties.

You will work on a variety of specialist equipment, including:

  • Irrigation booms and hose reels
  • Pumps and pumping systems
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Diesel-driven equipment
  • Electrical control systems
  • Automation, sensors and controls

Key Responsibilities

  • Install, service, maintain and repair irrigation systems
  • Diagnose and repair faults across mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and diesel systems
  • Carry out planned preventative maintenance and emergency breakdown repairs
  • Test equipment and ensure systems operate safely and efficiently
  • Read and interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams and technical manuals
  • Provide professional technical support to customers on-site
  • Complete service reports and maintain accurate records
  • Identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability and performance
  • Work safely and in accordance with company standards

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.
