Description:
Medical Field Service Engineer - Trainee
Location: London / Central & Greater London
Salary: Up to £30,000 + £2k Bonus + £5/d lunch allowance + Company Vehicle + Benefits
Are you looking to build a career in medical field service engineering, or already have field service experience and want to develop your skills within the medical sector?
An exciting opportunity is available for a Trainee Medical Field Service Engineer to join a specialist healthcare engineering team, supporting customers across London.
This is a field service opportunity with full product and technical training provided. We're open to candidates at different stages of their technical career - from a school or college leaver at entry-level, through to an experienced electro-mechanical field service engineer looking to move into medical devices.
The role:
You'll be field based and spend your days visiting hospitals and healthcare sites across Central and Greater London, supporting a range of medical and electromechanical equipment.
Your responsibilities will include:
Installing, servicing and maintaining medical and electromechanical equipment
Carrying out planned preventative maintenance and routine safety and performance checks
Supporting electrical, mechanical and electromechanical fault-finding
Completing straightforward repairs and component replacements following training
Assisting experienced engineers with installations and more complex technical work
Ensuring equipment is safe, operational and ready for clinical use
Building professional relationships with customers and clinical teams
Completing accurate service reports and digital records
Managing tools, spare parts and test equipment
Escalating more complex or unfamiliar faults appropriately
The equipment you'll support initially includes garment management systems, operating and procedure tables, X-ray chairs and other low-risk medical equipment. As your skills and experience develop, you'll have the opportunity to broaden your technical knowledge across the wider product portfolio.
You'll regularly work within hospital environments, including areas around operating theatres, so you'll need to be comfortable working in a clinical setting and remain calm and professional when equipment issues arise.
Hours:
Monday-Friday, 40 hours per week
Typically 8:30am-5:30pm
Location & travel:
The role will predominantly involve travel to hospitals in Central and Greater London, with some travel nationally when required.
What we're looking for:
We're interested in candidates with a practical technical background, whether you've gained your experience through education, an apprenticeship, employment or an existing field service engineering role.
This could suit:
A school/college leaver with level 2 qualifications (GCSE's) and hands-on experience
An apprentice or junior engineer looking to take the next step
A technician with experience in electrical, mechanical or electromechanical equipment
An experienced field service engineer looking to move into the medical device sector
You'll ideally have:
Some hands-on experience with electrical, mechanical or electromechanical equipment
A practical approach to fault-finding and problem-solving
Good customer-facing and communication skills
The ability to think on your feet and work calmly under pressure
Flexibility to travel as required
A willingness to learn and develop your technical skills
A Level 2 technical qualification, GCSE equivalent or relevant practical experience
A full UK driving licence
Indefinite right to work in the UK - sponsorship is not available
Previous experience in medical devices, field service, maintenance, electromechanical equipment, or similar environments would be advantageous, but is not essential.
What's on offer?
Salary up to £30,000
Company vehicle
£5 daily lunch allowance
Annual Engineer Bonus of up to £2,000
Full technical and product training
Long-term career development within medical engineering
Private pension
Other benefits
