Job Description

Field Service Engineer

M4 Corridor + Nationwide Travel (base: RG8) | Full-time or Flexible Hours | Competitive Salary + Overtime + Benefits

About Us

OR Group Ltd is a growing plant machinery services company based in Wantage, Oxfordshire. We provide statutory inspections, machinery repairs, servicing, and parts supply to clients across construction, manufacturing, recycling, warehousing, and more.

We're a small but ambitious team, working hard to build a reputation for reliability, expertise, and customer focus -- with a clear goal to become a recognised name in the UK plant machinery sector.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled Field Service Engineer to join our expanding team. This is a varied, hands-on role working on a wide range of plant and industrial machinery. You'll need to be resilient, adaptable, and confident in fault-finding across both mechanical and electrical systems, while also carrying out routine servicing to the highest standards.

The role will primarily cover the

M4 corridor

, and we aim to keep jobs within a

two-hour radius from your home

wherever possible. However, the workload may occasionally require jobs further afield, including

overnight stays

. This is rare, typically no more than once or twice per year, but flexibility is important.

The role offers some flexibility in hours to suit the right candidate, but will involve nationwide travel when required. You will often be working independently in the field, so confidence in working alone and making decisions on-site is essential.

Key Responsibilities

Diagnose and repair faults on a wide range of plant and industrial machinery. Carry out planned servicing, preventative maintenance. Build and maintain strong customer relationships through professionalism and reliability. Communicate clearly and effectively with clients to explain findings and solutions. Work independently while representing OR Group to a high standard. Accurately complete service reports and compliance documentation. Ensure all work meets safety, compliance, and quality standards.

About You

We're looking for someone with:

Proven experience diagnosing mechanical and electrical systems (plant machinery, forklifts, access platforms, or similar). Strong servicing experience with plant or industrial equipment. Excellent communication and customer relationship-building skills. Confidence in working alone and making sound decisions on-site. An NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Plant, Engineering, or related discipline. A resilient, problem-solving mindset with the ability to work in a busy, fast-paced environment. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel.

What We Offer

Competitive salary + overtime rates. Flexible working hours where possible. Company van, tools, PPE, and ongoing training provided. Opportunities to gain further inspection and compliance qualifications (LOLER, PUWER, PSSR, LEV). The chance to grow with a company that's ambitious, supportive, and on an exciting path.
If you're a skilled engineer with strong servicing and diagnostic experience, great communication skills, and the confidence to work independently in the field, we'd love to hear from you.
