Overview

Field Service Engineer - Barnsley / North of England

£35,000 + Company Vehicle + Bonus + Excellent Work-Life Balance

Are you looking for a full-time Service Engineer role that offers a genuine work-life balance?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established engineering business where you'll be based out of Barnsley and covering the North of England. Managing your own diary, you'll rarely — if ever — need to stay away overnight. In fact, some days you might even be back in-house by 1 or 2pm.

You'll be responsible for carrying out planned maintenance, service, and repair work on a range of mechanical equipment. Sites are varied from factories and mills to treatment plants giving you plenty of variety without excessive travel demands.

What’s in it for you

• A genuinely balanced working week - home most nights
• Autonomy to plan your own workload and schedule
• Fully expensed company vehicle and all travel costs covered
• Supportive team with full technical backup and ongoing training
• The chance to work for a respected engineering company with a strong reputation for service quality

What we’re looking for

• A background in mechanical engineering or maintenance (ideally within water, materials handling or pneumatic conveying industries)
• Hands-on experience with mechanical equipment (electrical skills a bonus)
• A full driving licence and a flexible, customer-focused approach

If you're an experienced engineer who takes pride in quality workmanship but wants more control over your time, this could be the ideal move
