We are recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to join a leading manufacturer of bespoke engineering equipment covering the Reading, Chippenham, Oxford and Basingstoke areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy fault finding, problem solving and working independently while developing specialist technical skills.

The Role:

You will carry out installation, commissioning, calibration, servicing and fault finding of bespoke engineering equipment across customer sites throughout your designated region.

Regular overnight stays are required as part of the role to support customer and business requirements. Additional overnight payments are provided, and all expenses are fully covered.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Electrical, electronics, avionics or mechanically biased engineering background

  • Strong electrical fault-finding skills

  • Level 3 engineering qualification or equivalent

  • Previous calibration equipment experience would be advantageous

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and schematics

  • Flexible approach to regional travel and overnight stays
