Midlands / South UK Field-Based Role
£16 - £20 per hour + Door-to-Door Pay + Overtime at 1.5x / 2x / Double Time
Van, Tools, Expenses & UK/European Travel Included
A hands-on engineering role where no two days are the same
We are recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to work on advanced automated entry systems used in high-profile commercial and secure environments across the UK.
This is a role for a genuinely capable, self-sufficient engineer who enjoys getting out on the road, solving problems independently, and taking ownership of technical work from fault to fix.
You'll be trusted to get on with the job without micromanagement, backed by strong support, proper tools, and a business that rewards effort with serious earning potential.
What you'll be doing
Installing, servicing and repairing automated entry systems including speed lanes, barriers and pedestrian portals
Diagnosing and fixing complex electromechanical faults in real time on customer sites
Carrying out full testing, commissioning and final sign-off of equipment
Handling both planned maintenance and reactive breakdown work
Working independently across a UK-wide patch, with occasional European travel
Providing technical support remotely when not out on site
Ensuring all work is completed safely, accurately and to a high standard
What makes this role stand out
High earning potential with structured overtime (1.5x / 2x)
Door-to-door pay - every hour you work counts
Fully equipped van (business use), tools and expenses covered
Genuine autonomy - manage your own day, no constant supervision
Work on specialist systems used in premium commercial environments
Opportunities for occasional international work, including Europe
Strong pipeline of pre-planned projects alongside reactive work
What we need from you
Strong electromechanical engineering background
Confident fault-finding and repair capability on complex equipment
Ability to work independently in the field without hand-holding
Practical, hands-on approach with a logical mindset
Comfortable with travel, overnight stays and occasional unsociable hours
Professional attitude in customer-facing environments
Experience with barriers, portals or automated systems is beneficial but not essential
Location & requirements
Midlands or South UK based (no Northern coverage)
CSCS or ECS card required (support available if expired or not held)
Enhanced DBS check required
Initial office onboarding before field deployment
4-month probation period
If you're an engineer who prefers being out in the field solving real problems rather than being stuck in a workshop or micromanaged environment, this is a role that rewards skill, independence and reliability.
