Thomas Broadbent | Fort Worth, TX | Field Service – North America

From our facility in Fort Worth, TX, we presently have a permanent, customer-facing Field Service Engineering opportunity suitable for a developing technician to support our customers across North America.

What you’ll be doing

• Running planned maintenance, inspections and preventative servicing at customer facilities
• Diagnosing breakdowns and solving mechanical problems in the field

• Precision fitting of components including bearings, seals and bushes to tight tolerances
• Carrying out workshop repairs and refurbishment in Fort Worth
• Writing clear, useful reports that customers and colleagues can act on

What we’re looking for

A career-minded Field Service Engineer or Technician with hands‑on experience servicing industrial machinery, such as pumps, gearboxes and process equipment, ideally within heavy engineering, mining, oil & gas or power generation.

You’ll need to be:

• Based around our Fort Worth facility and ready to travel extensively across the US, with occasional international travel
• Customer‑oriented and self‑sufficient, comfortable working independently and using your own judgement

Real variety in a growing organisation, with complex engineering to work with and specialist knowledge you’ll keep building along the way. You’ll be part of the team shaping Broadbent’s growing North American service operation, supporting a diverse range of customers and applications

If you’re looking to build a long‑term career in field service engineering within a genuinely unique engineering and manufacturing business, with the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge along the way, we’d like to hear from you.
