Field Service Engineer (Portable Power Solutions) – Reading Area

£43,000 - £57,000 (including overtime) | Company Vehicle | Full Benefits Package | Long-Term Secured Workload

Join a global engineering leader with a reputation for growing careers, developing talent, and being an exceptional employer. Our client is an international powerhouse whose technology powers industries across the world - from renewable energy and medical research to food production and infrastructure.

This is more than just a job - it's a chance to build a long-term career with an organisation that invests in your future, values your contribution, and offers the security of a strong order book.

Responsibilities

• Operate from a home base and cover the South and South West.
• Service and maintain portable air compressors, energy storage systems, generators, pumps, lighting towers, and handheld tools.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical faults quickly and effectively.
• Carry out commissioning, pre-delivery inspections, and upgrades.
• Deliver exceptional customer service and be a trusted face of the brand.
• Work closely with the service team to plan and organise your schedule.
• Represent a company known for professionalism, reliability, and engineering excellence.
• This is a field-based role with daily travel and occasional overnight stays, supported by excellent overtime and travel allowances.

About You

• You are a skilled Field Service Engineer with both mechanical and electrical expertise. You may have experience in:
• Generators, portable compressors, energy storage, or similar equipment.
• Power distribution systems, construction sites, maritime settings, or the military.
• You will also bring:
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills (both face-to-face and digital).
• HNC (or equivalent) in mechanical or electrical engineering (advantageous).
• A full clean UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Global Reputation - Work with an international brand celebrated for innovation and sustainability.
• Career Growth - Ongoing professional training and clear progression pathways.
• Long-Term Security - Join a company with a secured workload and strong market position.
• Flexibility - Operate from a home base with support from a collaborative team.
• Comprehensive Package - Competitive pay, health insurance, retirement scheme, paid leave and other benefits.
