You know those engineers who can walk onto a site, lift the bonnet, and just know what's wrong? Field Service Engineers.

We're working with a well-established machinery business that keeps the wheels turning, literally. They maintain and repair a wide range of forklifts and plant machinery used across Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas.

They're looking for someone experienced, confident, and capable, someone who's been in the industry a while and knows their way around a hydraulic leak, an electrical fault, and the inside of a customer's machine shed. You'll be working solo most of the time, so this isn't one for a trainee. They need someone who can hit the ground running.

You'll be trusted to manage your own day, head out to site in a fully stocked van, and represent the company with a smile. You'll be diagnosing faults, doing regular services, and getting broken-down machines back up and running, all while providing great customer service along the way.

It's a Monday to Friday role, 40 hours a week, with a steady workload and full-time employment. You'll have a clean and reliable van, phone, tablet, and all the gear you need, plus a company that values what you do.

To thrive in this role, you'll ideally:

• Have 5+ years of experience in the forklift or plant machinery industry
• Be confident working independently on mechanical and electrical issues
• Hold a clean UK driving licence
• Enjoy a hands-on role where no two days are the same
• Take pride in doing the job properly the first time

The Details:

Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 depending on experience
Hours: 40 per week, Monday to Friday
Location: Northamptonshire + surrounding areas (field-based)
Employment: Full-time
Benefits: Company van, phone, tablet, pension, 28 days holiday
