A field service role where you're treated like a person, not a number.

We're recruiting a mechanically biased engineer to join an established engineering business that genuinely looks after its people.

You'll be home based, travelling to customer sites across the UK to service, maintain and repair mechanical equipment used in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Yes, there's UK travel and occasional nights away, but this isn't a company that runs its engineers into the ground. Work is planned sensibly, overnight stays are managed fairly, and work-life balance genuinely matters.

The Role

• Service, maintain and repair mechanical equipment at customer sites.
• Diagnose faults and carry out repairs.
• Complete planned maintenance and servicing.
• Work independently, with support from an experienced engineering team.
• Travel across the UK, with overnight stays when required.

What We're Looking For

• Ideally experience maintaining equipment in food manufacturing, warehousing, distribution or similar industrial environments.
• A mechanically biased engineer with good fault-finding skills.
• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent preferred.
• Full UK driving licence.

You don't need years of experience. Someone with just 12 months' relevant engineering experience, the right attitude and a willingness to learn will be considered.

What's On Offer?

• £38,000–£40,000 basic salary.
• Overtime paid at 1.5x.
• night shift allowance, when applicable.
• Overnight expenses and subsistence allowances.
• Company van, tools, laptop and phone.
• Private medical insurance and life insurance.
• Company pension and profit share scheme.
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
• Full training and ongoing support.

Most importantly, you'll join a business that values its engineers, plans work sensibly and understands that you have a life outside work.
