HPLC Field Service Engineer

£50,000 - £60,000 + 33 Days, Training, Progression etc.

Field-based, covering Midlands / some UK travel

Are you a Service Engineer with hands-on experience servicing HPLC, LC or UHPLC systems, looking to work for a well established and fast growing business, in the Life Sciences industry?

This is a great opportunity to join a growing specialist provider of analytical instrumentation, where you'll be the technical expert on LC / HPLC equipment, supporting customers across pharmaceutical, scientific and laboratory environments.

You’ll become part of a close-knit technical service team with a strong reputation for employee support, training and long-term development.

You’ll work autonomously across the Midlands and North of England, servicing a varied range of chromatography and analytical equipment. There will be wider UK travel, overnight stays and occasional European travel where required.

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.
