About the Role:
We are seeking a hands-on, experienced Field-Based Product Support Engineer to support the maintenance and service of diesel engines used in locomotives.

Work independently in the field, delivering safe, high-quality work at customer sites.
Accurately record all work in line with company procedures.
Act as the first point of contact on site to resolve minor issues or escalate as necessary.
Maintain strong professional relationships and uphold the company's reputation.
Identify opportunities for additional work or service improvements and report to management.

Field-based across Derby and surrounding Midlands - travel time is included within 45 working hours.
Company van provided with fuel and expenses covered.
45 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
Overtime available at flat rate.
On-call rota every other weekend:
£73 per on-call day (paid regardless of call-out)
Additional hourly pay if called out
Permanent role

Experience working on diesel engines in any sector - rolling stock experience is not essential.
