Field Installation Engineer - Heavy Plant & Machinery

Package: £16.51 per hour, rising to £17.01 after 5 months + Overtime + Door-to-Door Pay + Company Van

Location: Surrey / South London - Field-Based

Industry: Heavy Plant / Mechanical Engineering / Fire Suppression

The BusinessAn established and growing specialist engineering business is looking to recruit a Field Installation Engineer to support its expanding customer base across Surrey, South London and surrounding areas.

The company provides specialist fire protection systems for heavy machinery across the construction, quarrying, waste and recycling sectors.

This is an excellent opportunity for a practical, mechanically minded engineer looking for a field-based position with full product training, regular overtime opportunities and the chance to work on a wide range of machinery.

The RoleThis is primarily a mechanical installation position, rather than a traditional diagnostic Field Service Engineer role.

Key Responsibilities

• Installing fire suppression systems on excavators, loading shovels, crushers and other heavy machinery.
• Fitting and routing hoses, components and associated equipment.
• Carrying out routine servicing, maintenance and occasional reactive callouts.
• Working independently at customer sites across the designated territory.
• Completing job reports and maintaining a safe working environment.
• Liaising with the office and technical team regarding scheduled work and any issues on site.

About You

Previous experience with fire suppression systems is not essential, as full product training will be provided.

We're particularly interested in speaking with engineers from the following backgrounds:

• Hydraulic hose fitting and installation.
• Automatic greasing and lubrication systems.
• Heavy plant fitting and mechanical installation.
• Fitting ancillary equipment, attachments or accessories to machinery.
• HGV, agricultural or construction machinery maintenance, with relevant mechanical fitting experience.

You’ll need to be mechanically competent, confident using hand tools, comfortable working independently and willing to travel to customer sites.

A full UK driving licence is required.

What’s on Offer

• Starting rate of £16.51 per hour, rising to £17.01 after five months.
• Approximately 46.25 paid hours per week.
• Door-to-door travel pay.
• Weekday overtime paid at 1.25x and weekend overtime at 1.5x.
• Existing engineers reportedly earning around £50,000-£55,000 annually including overtime (not guaranteed).
• Fully equipped company van, fuel and uniform.
• Paid accommodation and meals when overnight stays are required.
• Full product training and ongoing technical support.
• Home-based role with work organised by an established operations team.
