Job Description:

Office based in Shropshire – candidates must be within 1 hour's commute.

Field-based across the UK & Ireland.

We’re supporting a global robotics company in their search for a Service Engineer to join their UK team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a blend of mechanical and electrical skills, a background in automation or robotics, and a passion for solving problems on-site.

You’ll work from a Shropshire-based office and travel to customer sites across the UK and Ireland. You’ll be part of a close-knit, highly skilled team and operate on a 1-in-4 on-call rota to support emergency breakdowns—though late-night callouts are rare.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Install, service, and repair high-precision robotic equipment at customer sites
• Diagnose and resolve technical faults (both mechanical & electrical)
• Provide preventive maintenance and simple programming support
• Support the 24/7 service rota (1 week in 4)
• Maintain and update stock and service documentation
• Train on advanced 4- and 6-axis robotic systems

What We’re Looking For:

• Background in automation, robotics, or electromechanical engineering
• Experience with both mechanical and electrical systems
• Comfortable reading technical drawings and schematics
• Familiarity with robotics systems and/or automated machinery (e.g., conveyor belts, lifts, sensors)
• Full UK driving licence

What’s On Offer:

• £40,000 to £45,000 for the ideal candidate
• On-call and overtime pay (time + ⅓ or time and a half, depending on timing)
• Company car + fuel + expenses (inc. home EV charging allowance)
• Private medical cover
• Generous holiday package + your birthday off

If you’ve got the split-skillset (mechanical/electrical), enjoy problem-solving, and want to develop your robotics expertise with a supportive, tech-forward business, let’s talk!

Apply today. This is a unique opportunity for the right engineer to level up their career in automation.
