The Opportunity We are working with a specialist engineering business operating within the marine and industrial sectors, who are looking to recruit a Field Service Engineer to join their growing team.

This is a genuinely international role, with a significant amount of time spent travelling overseas to customer sites, commercial vessels, ports and engineering facilities around the world. You could be working on an assignment in the UK one week and travelling internationally the next, supporting customers across a varied global network.

The role involves the servicing, maintenance, repair and overhaul of turbochargers and associated equipment across a range of marine and industrial applications.

For an engineer who enjoys being hands-on, travelling internationally and experiencing different working environments, this is an excellent opportunity to build specialist technical knowledge while seeing more of the world.

International travel is a major part of this position, so flexibility and a genuine enthusiasm for overseas travel are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out servicing, maintenance, inspections and overhauls of marine and industrial turbochargers.
  
• Travel extensively worldwide to attend customer sites, vessels, ports and engineering facilities.
  
• Undertake overseas service assignments, sometimes at short notice.
  
• Diagnose mechanical faults and identify appropriate repair solutions.
  
• Strip down, inspect, repair and reassemble mechanical components.
  
• Work from technical drawings, manuals and engineering specifications.
  
• Complete service reports and associated technical documentation.
  
• Liaise with customers and colleagues to ensure work is completed safely and efficiently.
  
• Represent the business professionally when working at international customer locations.
  

About You

• Previous experience in a mechanical engineering, marine engineering or field service role.
  
• Strong hands‑on mechanical fitting, maintenance or overhaul experience.
  
• Comfortable working with rotating machinery, engines or associated mechanical equipment.
  
• Able to fault‑find, diagnose and resolve mechanical issues.
  
• Happy to travel extensively worldwide, spending significant periods working overseas.
  
• Flexible and adaptable, with a genuine interest in international travel.
  
• Able to work independently and as part of a team.
  
• Full UK driving licence.
  

Experience working with turbochargers would be advantageous, although engineers from wider marine, heavy engineering, diesel engine or mechanical maintenance backgrounds will also be considered.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
  
• Extensive worldwide travel and the opportunity to work in a variety of international locations.
  
• Varied, hands‑on engineering work across marine and industrial applications.
  
• Opportunities to develop specialist technical knowledge.
  
• The chance to join an established engineering business operating within a specialist global market.
