Service Engineer
Metalworking Fluids, Industrial Cleaners & Rust Preventatives | UK Field Based
Ready to take your machining or fluid management experience out onto customer sites? This opportunity is ideal for someone with a background in CNC machining, precision engineering, or metalworking fluids who wants to move into a more autonomous, field-based technical role. You’ll work directly with manufacturers across the UK, helping customers improve machining performance, extend tool life, and optimise production processes using specialist industrial fluids and chemical solutions.
Blending hands-on technical support with relationship management, this role offers the chance to step beyond the shop floor while still applying your engineering knowledge every day. Working autonomously across Oxfordshire, you’ll partner closely with engineering, production, and procurement teams while playing a key role in developing long-term customer accounts.
