Field Service Engineer – Electrical Bias
Location: Mobile role – UK-wide travel | Pay: up to £22.00 per hour (DOE) + overtime
Company van + travel + tools + expenses
Looking for a hands-on engineering role that takes you beyond the workshop and into real-world, on-site technical work?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team working on complex industrial kit across the UK – including conveyors, shredders, compactors and other heavy machinery, so recycling experience is advantageous.
You’ll be installing, servicing, fault-finding and repairing a wide range of electromechanical equipment. Every site is different, and you’ll be working alongside a respected team that values independence, professionalism and problem-solving skills.
This is not just another maintenance job – it’s a career path into a niche sector, where your experience will make a visible impact.
Pay & Perks:
-
Up to £22.00 per hour (flexible depending on background)
-
Time and a half paid after 39 hours (Mon-Sat), double time on Sundays
-
Company van, phone/tablet, credit card, fuel card provided
-
Tools, PPE, uniform and hotel stays covered
-
Full-time hours (42.5/week) + overtime available
-
Progression, development and industry-specific training
What you’ll be doing:
-
Carry out installation, maintenance and breakdown response on recycling & handling equipment
-
Diagnose and repair electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems
-
Complete service reports and worksheets on mobile devices
-
Deliver occasional operator training and support
-
Travel nationally (some overnight stays – accommodation provided)
-
Participate in an on-call rota (1 in 5)
What you’ll need:
-
Solid hands-on experience as a field service, maintenance, or electromechanical engineer
-
Comfortable working with 3-phase systems, PLCs, hydraulics and motors
-
Level 3 Electrical qualification (ideally with 16th, 17th or 18th Edition)
-
A proactive, self-sufficient approach to engineering tasks
-
Full UK driving licence (essential)
-
Experience with recycling machinery (desirable, but not essential)
