Field Service Engineer
Home-based | UK-wide (mainly between Sheffield, Birmingham and Cambridge)
£60,000 OTE + paid travel + vehicle allowance + pension
You’ll know this kind of job. Field-based, hands-on, plenty of variety. What you won’t find so often is a version of the job that pays properly, lets you get on with things, and gives you a route to grow.
This is a service role supporting automated packaging used by major brands. You’ll be based from home, travelling across a patch that sits roughly between Sheffield, Birmingham and Cambridge. Pay starts the moment you walk out your front door. There’s some international travel if you want it. No office. No pointless commuting.
Why this one stands out:
- OTE between £50k and £70k, with door-to-door overtime paid at 1.3x
- A manager who’s actively looking to develop all engineers with company growth
- Work that’s complex and rewarding, not routine or repetitive
- A tight-knit UK team with a global backing behind it
- Trusted to work independently, without red tape or hand-holding
What you’ll bring:
- Level 3 qualification in electrical or mechanical engineering (electrical bias preferred)
- Experience in field service or from a military engineering background
- Comfortable working solo, solving problems and dealing with customers
- Able to read control diagrams and get to grips with machinery fault finding quickly
- Full UK driving licence
Package:
- £40–44K base salary
- Regular overtime (c. 10 hours/week standard - usually whilst you're driving to site)
- Vehicle & Mileage allowance
- 5% matched pension
- Seasonal peaks (especially Nov/Dec), but hours otherwise managed sensibly
