Job description

Field Service Engineer – Electrical Bias

Up to £40,000 basic (OTE circa £70k)

Company Car

Industry-leading staff benefits

Overtime paid door-to-door

UK travel with some expectation of overseas work

What You’ll Do

• Install, service, maintain and repair cutting‑edge print production machinery / post‑press machinery at customer sites.
• Diagnose and resolve complex electrical and control issues.
• Support customers with breakdowns and preventive maintenance to keep production moving.
• Travel across the UK (with occasional overseas trips) – no fixed territory, meaning varied work and exposure to a wide range of equipment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Attractive earnings – up to £40k starting salary with realistic OTE of £60k.
• Premium company car – "User chooser" scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250, Audi A3, BMW 225.
• Travel variety – UK-wide with occasional international trips – every week is different.
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + average holiday pay.
• Healthcare & protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years’ service.
• Long‑term security – industry-leading pension scheme (employer contributions increase with length of service – up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
• Overtime rates – time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
• Structured development – ongoing training on world‑class machinery and opportunities to progress within a global engineering team.

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified, electrical‑biased engineer with an advanced technical mindset.
• Experience in field service, maintenance, or installation (ideally print equipment but complex FMCG, manufacturing, or industrial machinery backgrounds also considered).
• Confident working independently, solving problems on complex equipment.
• Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
• Based in England, ideally near good motorway links (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).
