Know Switchgears? Great, People Talent have the role for you! We are currently recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to join a well-respected manufacturer of high-voltage switchgear, to service a variety of switchgears.

- If you're looking to broaden your technical exposure, this is a fantastic opportunity.
