This role will suit an electrically biased, multi-skilled engineer who enjoys fault finding and working on customer sites across a range of manufacturing environments.

* Acting as the on-site representative of the business, building strong working relationships with customers
* Identifying opportunities for improvements, spare parts and ongoing service support
* This role involves significant travel – around 95% of your time will be spent away from home, with approximately 75% of site work within the UK and the remainder overseas.
The ideal Field Service Engineer will have –
* Electrically biased but multi-skilled background; including controls, drives and fault finding
* Experience within manufacturing environments such as FMCG, food or automotive
* Exposure to industrial automation, packaging machinery or special purpose equipment
* Strong problem-solving ability and confidence working independently

* Full UK driving licence
Package and benefits –
