INDSLS

If you can fix heavy machinery in a field, forest or construction site, we want to hear from you.

We are recruiting a Field Service Engineer to support a range of specialist heavy machinery and equipment across the North West.

This is a proper hands-on engineering role. You'll be out at customer sites, diagnosing faults, carrying out servicing and repairs and keeping technically advanced machinery doing what it was built to do.

You'll work largely independently, with the backing of an experienced technical and parts team when you need it.

The Role

You'll be responsible for:

• Servicing, maintaining and repairing specialist mobile machinery

• Diagnosing mechanical, hydraulic and electrical faults

• Attending breakdowns at customer sites

• Carrying out planned servicing and preventative maintenance

• Repairing and setting up hydraulic equipment and attachments

• Providing customers with practical technical support

• Managing your own workload across the North West

What We're Looking For

The exact machinery you've worked on isn't critical.

We'd particularly like to hear from engineers with experience of:

• Agricultural machinery

• Tractors and farm equipment

• Forestry machinery

• Excavators and construction plant

• Heavy mobile equipment

• Hydraulic machinery

You'll need to be comfortable fault-finding across mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems and, importantly, be the sort of engineer who enjoys working things out rather than simply swapping parts.

Why This Role?

This isn't maintaining a fleet of identical machines day after day.

You'll be working with an interesting range of specialist, high-quality machinery, dealing with different engineering challenges and customers across the region.

It's a role with plenty of independence, variety and technical interest, backed by a business that understands engineering and takes product support seriously.

Home/field based – North West

If you're an experienced Agricultural, Plant, Forestry or Heavy Machinery Engineer looking for something a little more specialised, we'd like to hear from you.

Know forestry or groundcare machinery and enjoy winning business? Take a specialist equipment range to customers across the UK.

We're looking for a Business Development Manager to develop UK sales for a broad range of specialist machinery, equipment and attachments.

Forestry is a major target market, alongside groundcare and other sectors where specialist mobile machinery is used.

This is a home-based, UK-wide sales role for someone who understands machinery, can talk credibly with customers and enjoys turning opportunities into orders.

c.£40,000 basic + bonus + company car

The Role

You'll be responsible for growing sales across the UK, developing new customers while also building relationships with existing accounts.

You'll be:

• Identifying and winning new business across the UK

• Developing sales within forestry, groundcare and related markets

• Building relationships with contractors, operators and equipment users

• Visiting customers to understand their applications and requirements

• Demonstrating machinery and recommending the right solution

• Selling equipment, machinery and attachments

• Preparing quotations and progressing opportunities through to order

• Developing existing accounts and identifying additional opportunities

• Attending exhibitions, demonstrations and industry events

• Managing your own diary, pipeline and sales activity

There's a big potential market to go after, so this will suit someone who likes getting out in front of customers rather than sitting behind a laptop waiting for enquiries.

What We're Looking For

You don't need to have sold exactly the same machinery before.

You will need some relevant market knowledge, ideally gained selling machinery or equipment into forestry and/or professional groundcare.

Your background could include:

• Forestry machinery or equipment

• Groundcare machinery

• Agricultural machinery

• Compact tractors

• Professional mowing or turf equipment

• Arboricultural equipment

• Attachments and implements

• Plant or specialist mobile machinery

We're equally happy to consider someone from the smaller end of the groundcare machinery market who is ready to step up into larger, more specialist equipment.

What matters is that you understand machinery and applications, can build credibility with customers and have the commercial instinct to spot an opportunity and turn it into business.

The Opportunity

This isn't about selling from a catalogue.

Customers will have different applications and requirements, so you'll need to understand what they're trying to achieve and recommend the right equipment for the job.

You'll have the freedom to manage your own territory, backed by an established specialist engineering business with strong technical and product knowledge behind you.

For someone who knows the market, there is significant scope to develop sales across the UK.

Work on the kind of engineering problems that don't get fixed with a quick service call.

We're looking for an experienced Field Service Engineer to support major manufacturing customers across the UK.

This is not a high-volume role driving from job to job completing routine service calls.

You'll work on complex industrial plant (mainly in the aerospace sector) and automated manufacturing systems, often spending several days on site diagnosing faults, carrying out repairs, completing planned maintenance and delivering engineering improvements.

You'll be trusted to use your engineering judgement rather than simply work through a checklist.

The Role

You'll be responsible for:

• Fault finding and repair of complex industrial equipment
• Planned and preventative maintenance
• Mechanical and/or electrical repairs
• Installation, modification and upgrade work
• Diagnosing problems and developing practical engineering solutions
• Working from engineering drawings and technical information
• Supporting longer-term maintenance and improvement projects

You'll be home based and travel directly to customer sites across the UK, so you can live anywhere in the UK but ideally across the Midlands or Central England.

We're looking for:

✔ Strong Mechanical and/or Electrical engineering experience

✔ Experience working with complex industrial machinery or plant - preferrably within the aeropsace sector

✔ Excellent fault-finding and problem-solving skills

✔ Comfortable working independently on customer sites

✔ Able to understand engineering drawings and technical information

✔ Happy with regular UK travel and staying away when required

Experience could come from aerospace, automotive, heavy engineering, industrial automation, capital equipment, process plant or manufacturing maintenance.

This isn't a job for a parts changer.

We're looking for a proper engineer who enjoys getting underneath a problem,
