Job description

Field Service Engineer - Ideal for Ex-Forces or Experienced Electro-Mechanical Engineers
Location: Ideally based in or around Carlisle (can consider candidates within ~1 hour)
Salary: £37,000 - £43,000 DOE + paid overtime + car or allowance (£5,400)
Type: Full-time, Permanent

We're working with a leading provider of medical imaging equipment that prides itself on low staff turnover, a supportive culture, and genuine career progression. Due to growth, they're looking for a Field Service Engineer to join their technical team working on the installation, maintenance, and repair of digital X-ray systems across hospitals and, occasionally, veterinary sites.

This role is ideal for ex-Forces engineers with a strong hands-on background - especially those from REME, the RAF, or the Royal Navy - but is equally open to engineers from other industries with solid experience in electrical and mechanical maintenance.

About the Role:

  • Installing, servicing, and repairing the companies and third-party digital X-ray systems
  • Supporting hospital and veterinary clients with professional, customer-focused service
  • Covering a territory primarily across Scotland (e.g. Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen), with some travel to Newcastle and Carlisle
  • Minimal overnight stays - typically once every 1-2 months
  • Collaborating with technical specialists and internal support teams

What's on Offer:

  • Salary: £37,000-£43,000 depending on experience
  • Paid Overtime: After 43.5 hours/week including travel (x1.5 Mon-Sat, x2 Sun/Bank Holidays)
  • Hours: Monday-Friday, 37.5 hours/week on-site plus travel
  • Company Car or Allowance: £5,400
  • Pension: 3% employee / 5% employer
  • Life Assurance: 4x salary
  • Holidays: 25 days + 8 bank holidays (33 days total)
  • Group Income Protection
  • Sick Pay: 5 days (rising to 10 days after 2 years' service)
  • No on-call rota, though included in contract for potential future need

Training & Progression:

  • Full, structured training provided over 2-3 years
  • The business invests approx. £10,000 per engineer, so they're looking for individuals interested in long-term progression
  • Ongoing technical development with clear routes into senior or specialist roles
  • Supportive, collaborative team with regular recognition for great work

Who This Would Suit:

Ideal backgrounds:

  • Ex-military engineers (REME, RAF, Navy) with electrical, mechanical, or electronic maintenance experience
  • Engineers from sectors such as medical, vending, ATMs, capital equipment, or industrial machinery
  • Strong experience working with electromechanical systems (e.g. motors, sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics)

Key qualities:

  • Hands-on problem solver who can think on their feet
  • Comfortable working independently in the field
  • Professional and personable with great communication skills
  • Based near Carlisle or within commuting distance
  • Keen to learn and grow in a long-term role

If you're looking for a technical field role with variety, development, and long-term security - this is a fantastic opportunity to join a team that truly values its engineers.
