£40,000–£50,000 basic + company vehicle + benefits
We are recruiting for an established engineering business supplying specialist equipment used across the construction, civil engineering and laboratory sectors.
They are looking for a hands-on Field Service Engineer to join their team, servicing, calibrating, repairing and installing equipment at customer sites throughout the UK.
The Role - Field Service Engineer – Electro-mech/Hydraulic equipment
This is a varied, practical role combining field-based customer visits with time at the company's facility supporting repairs and technical enquiries.
You'll be responsible for:
Servicing and calibrating specialist equipment at customer sites.
Fault-finding across mechanical and hydraulic systems.
Replacing hydraulic and mechanical components where required.
Installing and commissioning equipment.
Providing technical support and training to customers.
Completing service reports, calibration records and compliance paperwork.
Supporting repairs and servicing in the workshop.
Planning and managing your own UK travel and customer visits. Initially, expect around 2–3 days per week on the road, with the role becoming increasingly field-based as you develop.
There are also opportunities for international travel, including assignments across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Australia for installations, servicing, calibration and training.

The ability to work independently and manage your own workload. Experience within construction, civil engineering, concrete/cement, materials testing, laboratories or another regulated environment would be advantageous.
Knowledge of ISO 17025, UKAS or similar quality/laboratory systems would also be beneficial, but is not essential.
What's on Offer?
£40,000–£50,000, depending on experience.
UK-wide field-based role.
International travel opportunities.
Company tools and calibration equipment provided.
