Edwards Employment Solutions are recruiting on behalf of an established and highly regarded engineering business specialising in industrial weighing equipment.

We're looking for an experienced, mechanically and electrically skilled Field Service Engineer to join a friendly, supportive business with an excellent reputation for looking after its people.

If you're a capable engineer who enjoys getting out on the road, solving problems and earning well through overtime, this could be a great opportunity.

The Role

Working as part of an experienced field service team, you'll be responsible for servicing, maintaining, diagnosing and repairing specialist industrial weighing equipment, including weighbridges, at customer sites.

Your work will involve a mixture of planned maintenance visits and reactive breakdowns, primarily within your allocated geographical area.

Responsibilities will include:

• Attending customer sites to carry out planned servicing, maintenance and repairs.




• Diagnosing and resolving mechanical and electrical faults.




• Responding to equipment breakdowns and getting customers back up and running.




• Working independently, managing your workload and providing excellent customer service.




• Occasionally travelling outside your usual area, including overnight stays when required.

About You

We're looking for an experienced engineer with a solid grounding in both mechanical and electrical engineering.

You might currently be working in field service, plant maintenance, agricultural machinery, materials handling, industrial equipment or a similar environment.

You'll need:

• Proven hands-on mechanical and electrical engineering experience.




• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.




• The confidence and competence to work independently on customer sites.




• A practical, reliable and customer-focused approach.




• Flexibility to accommodate breakdowns, travel and occasional work outside standard hours.

You don't need previous weighbridge or industrial weighing experience. Full product-specific training will be provided.

What matters is that you're already a capable engineer with the technical foundations to learn a new specialist product range.

Salary & Benefits

• £30,000–£34,000 basic salary, depending on experience.




• Overtime paid at enhanced rates, including time and a half for qualifying additional hours.




• Additional earning opportunities through weekend and unsociable hours work.




• Circa £50,000 OTE, based on typical additional earnings, although actual earnings will depend on overtime worked.




• Company van, phone, laptop and tablet/PDA.




• Fully expensed overnight stays when required.




• Comprehensive product training and ongoing development.




• Opportunities for long-term career progression.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a well-established engineering business with a genuinely supportive culture and a specialist product range.

You'll be given the tools, training and autonomy to do your job properly, with the opportunity to develop valuable technical expertise in a niche engineering sector.

For someone who enjoys the variety of field service work and wants the opportunity to significantly increase their earnings through overtime, this is well worth exploring.
