Field Service Engineer

Our client based in Andover has an immediate requirement for a skilled and versatile Field Service Engineer with strong electrical, mechanical and programming capabilities.

This is a dynamic, field-based role combining installation, maintenance, fault-finding, and customer support, alongside involvement in machine build and development. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on engineering expertise with added value in electrical control systems and C++ programming for machine functionality and optimisation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Travel across the UK (and occasionally Europe) to install, service, and repair machinery
• Respond to urgent breakdowns within 24-48 hours
• Diagnose and resolve electrical and mechanical faults efficiently
• Carry out planned maintenance and servicing activities
• Look after your own diary management for PPM activities
• Install new equipment and commission machines on customer sites
• Deliver face-to-face training to customers on safe operation and basic maintenance
• Support the manufacturing team with electrical wiring, control panel assembly, machine build and testing
• Assist with development and troubleshooting of control systems, including C++ based programming where required
• Maintain accurate service records and reports

Applicants must have a minimum of 2 years' experience as an Electrical/Mechanical Engineer or Field Service Engineer, strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills, experience with control systems and basic C++ programming (or willingness to develop), knowledge of wiring, control panels, machine assembly, excellent problem-solving ability and proactive mindset, strong communication skills with customer-facing experience and a full UK driving licence.

Applicants will need to be able to work on occasion at the Andover office, so will need to be local to the area; however, this is also a field-based role that will require UK wide travel and occasional trips to Europe.

For the right candidate we can offer a starting salary of between £35k and £42k per annum, dependent on experience; in time you can also qualify for a profit share scheme. The package also includes 23 days holiday + Bank Holidays, a standard pension and use of a company vehicle.
