WHY SHOULD I APPLY?

JOB DESCRIPTION: Service Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Field Service Engineer - Automate UK, Process and Packaging Machinery, Inkjet, Production Equipment

This is a hybrid role, split between working at our Petersfield site, and a classic, multi skilled field based Service Engineer vacancy. The role is divided between scheduled installation and maintenance of equipment at sites across the UK and reactionary service (often with a few days' notice and very occasional emergency breakdown response).

During periods of training, you will also visit principal sites across Europe.

PERSON SPECIFICATION: Service Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Field Service Engineer - Automate UK, Process and Packaging Machinery, Inkjet, Production Equipment

Ideally, you will be a multi skilled and experienced Service or Maintenance Engineer with familiarity of working on production equipment from any sector. Any exposure to packaging, process, inkjet, or automation equipment would be a bonus, but any PLC controlled machinery would be a good match.

The wide variety of equipment they work on would benefit from a broad range of experience and a good, general engineering understanding. An understanding of PLC's from an operational level is important - but you are not required to be able to program, debug, fault find etc.

THE COMPANY:

Well established and respected distributor of machinery across several business areas including converting, print finishing, and process and packaging machinery.

PROSPECTS:

Beyond an annual salary review, there is a direct path to a Senior Service Engineer role in the medium term.

It is highly likely you will have worked in any of the following roles and/or markets, and worked with the following products and/or services: Service Engineer, Service Manager, Maintenance Engineer, Installation Engineer, Commissioning Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Multiskilled Engineer - PPMA, Process and Packaging Machinery, Inkjet, Production Equipment, PLC, Automate UK
