Job Description

This progressive, respected, and expanding special purpose machinery manufacturer seeks an experienced multi-skilled Field Service Engineer based in the North East of England. Ideally experienced as a time-served Engineer, although not necessary, we seek either field service experience or those who are looking to step out into a Field Service position from a site-based role.

Knowledge and experience of working on special purpose machinery is paramount. Experience with PLCs and CNC machinery is an advantage; non-CNC machinery is also sought. Fanuc controls or Siemens, etc., are beneficial, however not a deal breaker, as we are not looking for a programmer!

We will consider a variety of machinery experience, i.e., packaging machinery, manufacturing machinery, injection moulding machinery, woodworking machinery, cutting machinery, edge banders, beamsaws, production machinery, conveyors, or similar production or capital equipment.

You will be competent electrically and mechanically, ideally electrically biased, although not essential, and possess technical qualifications to support your experience to date, such as City & Guilds / NVQ / GNVQ / ONC / HND, etc.

You will visit interesting and varied environments conducting planned service and maintenance of this manufacturer's special purpose machinery. In addition to servicing, you will also be involved with reactive repair work and commissioning of new machines as required.

Offering a competitive remuneration package with excellent overtime paid, Engineers will typically earn £45k-£50K with the overtime paid door to door! We seek a confident engineer who will represent the business well in front of their loyal existing and new customer base.

Engineers highly called for will have direct experience working as a CNC Technician; however, serious consideration will be given to those who have worked on any special purpose machinery, either with or without CNC-driven controls. We are not asking you to programme them, but rather have worked on the service and maintenance of machinery with excellent fault-finding skills.

To reiterate, any candidates with no direct CNC machinery maintenance experience may still be considered, just as long as you are a competent Engineer!

This position offers an immediate start for the right person and an exciting career ahead for someone who likes variety and has the ambition to work directly with a machinery manufacturer. Candidates applying must offer flexibility in terms of staying away, as this is an imperative requirement of the role, where full expenses are covered to accommodate this, and overtime is paid door to door.

Should you have the above experience or similar and want to work for an incredible machine manufacturer who invests well in their people, with a first-class support system and enviable reputation in their sector, then we want to hear from you! Please send an updated copy of your CV ASAP for immediate consideration!
