Field Service Engineer Mechanical Bias

Birmingham, United Kingdom

Job Description

Field Service Engineer - Mechanical Bias
Up to 40,000 basic (OTE circa 70k)
Company Car
Industry-Leading Staff Benefits
Overtime Paid Door-to-Door
UK Travel with Some Overseas Work
Are you a mechanically minded engineer who loves getting hands-on with complex kit, solving problems on the fly, and keeping high-performance machinery running at its best?
Here's your chance to join one of the print industry's most respected global machinery manufacturers -- a leader in advanced print & packaging technology -- as they strengthen their UK service team.
You'll be working on some of print's most sophisticated production and post-press systems, supporting major manufacturing sites across the UK (and occasionally overseas). If you want a role where your mechanical skill is genuinely valued -- and where you'll benefit from world-class training, high earning potential, and excellent benefits -- this is it.
As long as you're within good reach of the motorway network, you're in scope.
What You'll Do
- Install, service, maintain and repair advanced print production / post-press machinery at customer sites.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical faults, mechanical assemblies, pneumatics, drives, and general machine performance issues.
  • Carry out preventative maintenance and respond to breakdowns to minimise downtime.
  • Travel across the UK with varied weekly work and exposure to a broad range of machinery (occasional overseas trips included).
Why This Role Stands Out
- Strong Earnings - Up to 40k basic with realistic OTE around 60-70k (overtime paid door-to-door).
  • Premium Company Car - "User chooser" scheme; current engineers drive Mercedes A-Class, Audi A3, BMW 2-Series etc.
  • Variety & Travel - UK-wide work with the chance to travel internationally.
  • 25 Days Holiday Bank Hols - With average holiday pay so overtime isn't lost.
  • Healthcare & Protection - Medicash, life insurance, and private medical after 5 years.
  • Long-Term Stability - Outstanding pension scheme (employer contributions rise with service -- up to 2x your own after 10 years).
  • Generous Overtime Rates - Time & a half after 18:00 and Saturdays; double time Sundays & bank holidays; UK & overseas overnight allowances.
  • Full Training - Continuous development on world-leading machinery and a clear progression path within a global engineering team.
What We're Looking For
- A mechanically biased engineer with strong fault-finding ability and a hands-on mindset.
  • Experience in field service, maintenance, fitting, installation, or heavy/complex machinery (print, packaging, FMCG, manufacturing or industrial environments welcome).
  • Someone comfortable working independently on complex mechanical systems.
  • Flexibility to travel UK-wide with time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
  • Based in England, ideally near major motorway routes (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join a financially robust, globally recognised machinery manufacturer that truly invests in its engineers. If you're seeking technical challenge, variety, exceptional training, and strong long-term rewards, this could be the move that levels up your career.
