Mechanical Service Engineer

Dartford, Kent + International Travel

£35,000 - £40,000 DOE + Overtime (1.5x)

35 hours per week Monday - Friday

Why This Role Stands Out

If you're a hands-on engineer who enjoys variety, travel, and working with high-quality machinery, this role offers something different from the typical service position.

You'll split your time between our Dartford site and travelling globally to support well-known brands, installing and maintaining bespoke packaging machinery. With fully paid international travel, no night call-outs, and structured overtime, this role offers both balance and opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing

• Installing and commissioning bespoke packaging machinery worldwide
• Carrying out servicing, maintenance, and fault-finding (mechanical & electrical)
• Supporting customers on-site with technical issues and troubleshooting
• Conducting machine surveys and preventative maintenance
• Training customer staff on machine operation and best practices
• Building strong relationships with customers as a key technical contact
• Supporting the Dartford site with workshop-based engineering when not travelling

What We're Looking For

• Experience in a Field Service or maintenance engineering role
• Strong electro-mechanical skills, with a mechanical bias
• Confident fault-finding and problem-solving ability
• Comfortable working in a customer-facing environment
• Flexible approach to travel and working hours
• Full UK driving licence

This role suits someone who enjoys a mix of independence, travel, and hands-on engineering, and who can adapt to a reactive environment when needed.

What You'll Get in Return

• £35,000 - £40,000 basic salary (DOE)
• Overtime paid at 1.5x (including weekends)
• All international travel fully expensed
• Company vehicle (car or van)
• Fuel covered + company debit card & hotel card
• No night call-outs
• 35-hour working week
• Full training on specialist machinery
• Opportunity to develop skills working with advanced, bespoke equipment
• Exposure to international projects and global clients

The Reality of the Role

This is a varied and sometimes reactive position. Plans can change, and customer needs can arise at short notice. In return, you'll gain experience that few engineering roles can offer - working across different countries, industries, and technologies.
