Job description

Overview

Mechanical Bias Litho Print Field Service Engineer — £40,000 basic (OTE £62k) Company Car Overtime Paid Door-to-Door UK Travel with Some Overseas Work

Are you a mechanically skilled engineer who thrives on variety, challenge, and solving complex machinery problems? This is your chance to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global name in advanced print & packaging technology — as they expand their UK service team.

You’ll work on some of the industry’s most technically advanced print production systems, supporting high-profile manufacturing sites across the UK and occasionally overseas. If you want a role where your mechanical expertise is genuinely valued, and you’ll be rewarded with first-class training, earning potential, and benefits — read on.

What You’ll Do

• Install, service, maintain and repair cutting-edge print production machinery at customer sites.
• Diagnose and resolve complex mechanical, hydraulic, and precision engineering issues.
• Support customers with breakdowns and preventative maintenance to keep production running smoothly.
• Travel across the UK (with occasional overseas trips) — no fixed territory, meaning varied work and exposure to a wide range of equipment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Attractive Earnings – £40k starting salary with realistic OTE of £62k (overtime is plentiful and paid door-to-door).
• Premium Company Car – “User chooser” scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250e AMG Line, Audi A3, BMW 225e Sport Active Tourer.
• Travel Variety – UK-wide with occasional international trips — every week is different.
• 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you don’t lose out when taking time off.
• Healthcare & Protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years’ service.
• Long-Term Security – Industry-leading pension scheme (employer contributions increase with length of service — up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
• Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
• Structured Development – Ongoing training on world-class machinery and opportunities to progress within a global engineering team.

What We’re Looking For

• Mechanically biased engineer (ideally with some electrical knowledge or multi-skilled ability).
• Experience in field service, maintenance, or installation (Ideally production print other similar FMCG industry, manufacturing, or industrial machinery backgrounds welcome).
• Confident working independently, solving complex mechanical or precision assembly issues.
• Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
• Based in England, ideally near good motorway links (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).

The Opportunity

This is an excellent chance to join a financially strong, globally recognised machinery manufacturer that genuinely invests in its engineers. If you’re looking for technical challenge, variety, and excellent earning potential with a company that rewards loyalty and expertise, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.
