The Role

As a Field Service Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting customers across the UK with:

  • Experience with actuators, sensors, motors, and control systems
  • Customer-focused, professional, and flexible to travel

We welcome candidates from any capital equipment background — including engineers currently in maintenance roles who are looking to move into field service. If you have the right electrical skills and a hands-on approach, we want to hear from you.



What’s on Offer


  • £40,000 – £45,000 basic salary
  • Overtime paid door-to-door (realistic OTE £55k+)
  • Hybrid company vehicle
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
