Job description

Want to be part of a UK hub, in a global business that is scaling rapidly, evolving fast and radically changing the decades-old delivery universe? If so, read on, as we’re looking for Field Services Engineer based in Cambridge to join our Network Health team!

Our mission? To switch up the status quo and become the UK’s leading out-of-home business. With a fast-growing network of thousands of smart lockers, hundreds of leading retail partners and the launch of our transformative Send service, we’re bringing freedom to anyone with a parcel.

At InPost UK, we’re building an unparalleled group of talent that’s committed to help us power our mission to reshape the way parcels move, and redefine eCommerce logistics. Our team is packed full of top-notch experts in e-commerce, technology, scale-up growth, sustainability, logistics and supply chain. We’re a passionate bunch with high ambition – we collaborate, innovate, support each other, and leave egos at the door.

About the role:

This role will be responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining parcel locker machines. Tasks include software configuration, quality control, and providing technical support and training to employees and subcontractors. Actively involved in developing new solutions and maintaining technical documentation.

What you’ll be doing:

• Diagnosing and repairing faults and malfunctions of parcel locker machines (APMs), ensuring minimal downtime and optimal performance.
• Maintenance and modernisation of parcel locker machines, including implementing hardware and software upgrades to enhance reliability and efficiency.
• Diagnostics, reconfiguration, and installation of computer software or firmware for computer, electronic, and electromechanical equipment, ensuring compatibility and security compliance.
• Processing and reporting on assigned repairs using communication channels utilised within the organisation
• Managing tools and components for parcel locker machines.
• Handling systems for managing personnel-related matters.
• Quality control of work performed by internal employees and subcontractors ensuring adherence to technical standards, contractual agreements, and company guidelines
• Providing technical and substantive support to employees and subcontractors (including international ones) via communication and IT channels used within the company.
• Participating in the development of solutions for new types of parcel locker machines.
• Preparing and updating technical manuals and documentation.

What we need from you:

We’re looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. We’re looking for people with drive and natural curiosity – who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.

• You will need some experience in a similar technical or engineering role.
• Proficiency in diagnosing and repairing electromechanical equipment, with experience in software configuration and firmware updates.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for resolving complex technical issues.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to provide technical training
• Ability to manage tasks efficiently, ensuring quality and meeting deadlines across multiple markets.
• High accuracy in quality control and documentation updates.
• Experience working with diverse teams, including international subcontractors and internal staff.
• Flexibility to travel for service and training activities both in the UK and occasionally internationally.
• Familiarity with parcel locker or similar systems, electromechanical devices, and organisational IT tools.
• Effective time management and the ability to handle tools and components responsibly.

This role will require occasional training and visits to our office base in Hemel Hempstead and will need to be located near or within the Cambridge area to be considered to focus on covering this patch area.
