Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Field Service Engineer to support and maintain customer technology across a large territory.

This is a hands-on role combining electro-mechanical repair, Windows-based diagnostics, and basic networking to keep customer sites operating reliably.

You’ll be trusted to work independently from day one — managing your workload, communicating professionally on site, and delivering a high-quality service aligned to agreed service levels (SLAs).

Field-based (home-start) | Company Vehicle | Full Training Provided | Driving Licence Required.

Working pattern

This is a field role, so start/finish times vary with travel, customer opening hours, and priority needs.
Core hours apply, however, because of the nature of the job flexibility is required.

Weekend rota & earning opportunity

This role includes participation in a weekend/bank holiday support rota with additional pay.
Potential of additional earnings through Weekend and Bank Holiday Rota participation.
Opportunities to earn more by taking on additional weekend cover when available.
Plus potential bonus and salary progression, subject to performance and business results.

Long-term career progression
Progression opportunities exist for the right person, including:

Technical progression (advanced diagnostics, product expertise, specialist support).
Leadership/management progression (coaching, planning, field leadership).

Key Responsibilities What you’ll do (day to day)

Undertake a mix of planned maintenance, installations/upgrades, and priority attendance when a customer has a time-critical issue.

Diagnosing faults efficiently using a structured approach (symptoms → logs/data → root cause → fix).
Use a Windows laptop to access tools, review logs, complete updates/configuration, and document actions.
Perform network connectivity tasks (LAN connections, IP settings, basic troubleshooting) to access device interfaces and confirm communications.
Repair and maintain electro-mechanical systems (modules, sensors, motors, transport mechanisms, power components).
Carry out preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and improve reliability.
Provide clear customer updates and set expectations during service activity.
Complete accurate job documentation (work completed, parts used, findings, next steps) to support first-time fix and audit quality.
Escalate effectively when needed — providing clear evidence, logs, and fault context to technical support.

Service levels & priority work (SLAs)

You’ll work to agreed service levels (SLAs) that help keep customer operations running smoothly.
Most work is planned and scheduled. When a customer has a time-critical issue, you’ll prioritise it with support from scheduling and technical teams — aiming for a first-time fix and minimal disruption.

What we’re looking for Essential:

Proven field service experience in a customer environment (ideal backgrounds include ATMs, printers/MFDs, EPOS, kiosks, vending, security systems, cash-handling or similar technology).
Strong fault-finding ability across electro-mechanical systems.
Confident using a Windows laptop for diagnostics, reporting, and communication.
Networking competence: LAN/Ethernet, IP addressing, connectivity checks, and accessing device interfaces.
Excellent customer service and communication skills (written and verbal).
Ability to efficiently manage your day based on priorities and workload in conjunction with your Regional Service Controller
Full UK driving licence.
Networking self-check (expected): If you can set a static IP, log into a router/switch, confidently troubleshoot a “no connection issues” and logically understand networking basics — you’ll be comfortable in this role.

Desirable:

Experience adhering to SLAs and managing high‑priority callouts.
Understanding of health & safety in the field (risk awareness, safe working, customer site standards).
Experience with hardware/software upgrades, device configuration, or remote support tools.
Coaching/mentoring ability (supporting less experienced engineers).
