JOB DESCRIPTION:Field Service Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Multi Skilled Engineer - Electrical Bias, Machinery, Capital Equipment
This is NOT your classic Field Service Engineer role. Once you've been through our comprehensive training, you'll partner up with an experienced engineer to carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) at our customers sites around your territory.
As our Field Service Engineer you'll:
Attend customer sites to carry out a range of works including breakdowns, fault finding and repairs, both electrical and mechanical
Run diagnostics work - extending to PLC controls (we use Siemens, though any PLC experience would be a bonus)
Modify equipment to adhere to specific customer orders
Be the face of the company and provide excellent customer service at all times
You'll also support the installation and commissioning process of our equipment into customers facilities, so there may be a requirement to spend the odd night away from home (with plenty of notice and fully expensed of course).
There will be times when you'll be at our brand new purpose built headquarters in Leicester. Here you'll be involved in everything from machine repairs and refurbishments to customer demonstrations.
PERSON SPECIFICATION:Field Service Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Multi Skilled Engineer - Electrical Bias, Machinery, Capital Equipment

An experienced electrically biased Field Service Engineer
A single site multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer
A recently apprenticed engineer with a mechatronics background
Whatever your current background, we're looking for someone who's enthusiastic, eager to expand their knowledge and become an expert in their field. You'll possess good interpersonal skills and want to put these to good use with our customers.
It'll be ideal if you have experience of PLC controls, however, this isn't essential as we'll train on all of our equipment and you must have a full UK driving license.
