Job description

Junior Field Service Electrical Engineer

£33,000 basic (annual earnings up to £55K) Company Vehicle Overtime Paid Door-to-Door UK Travel with Some Overseas Work

Are you an electrically minded engineer at the start of your career, keen to build your skills on advanced machinery? This is your chance to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global name in print & packaging technology — as they continue to grow their UK service team.

You’ll receive full training and support from experienced engineers, developing your skills on some of the industry’s most technically advanced print production systems. Expect hands-on variety, the chance to travel across the UK (with occasional overseas projects), and a clear career path within a global engineering organisation.

What You’ll Do

• Assist with the installation, service, and maintenance of high-tech print production machinery at customer sites.
• Learn to diagnose and repair electrical and control issues with support from senior engineers.
• Carry out preventative maintenance to keep customers’ production running smoothly.
• Travel UK-wide (occasional overseas) with varied exposure to different sites and equipment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Great Development – Structured training and mentoring to help you progress towards a full Field Service Engineer role.
• Attractive Package – £28k–£32k basic with realistic OTE £40k (overtime paid door-to-door).
• Company Vehicle – Provided with full expenses covered for travel.
• Variety & Travel – Work across the UK with occasional international trips.
• Generous Benefits – 25 days holiday bank holidays, pension scheme, healthcare cash plan, and life insurance.
• Future Security – Join a financially strong global business that invests in its engineers.

What We’re Looking For

• Electrically trained (apprenticeship, HNC, BTEC, NVQ, or similar).
• Some hands-on experience with electrical systems — this could be from maintenance, service, installation, or college/placement projects.
• Keen to learn and confident working in varied environments.
• Flexible with travel and overnight stays (approx. 100 nights per year).
• Based in England with good motorway access (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance for a junior engineer to join a global leader in print & packaging machinery and grow into a fully-fledged Field Service Engineer role. If you’re eager to develop your electrical skills, enjoy variety, and want a long-term career in a supportive, world-class engineering team, we’d love to hear from you.
