Job type: Permanent, full-time | Field-based
We’re recruiting a hands-on Field Service Engineer to cover South London and the Surrey Hills (Woking / Guildford / Epsom / Crawley etc), working on large, heavy-duty electro‑mechanical gate and materials handling systems.
This is not light commercial or domestic work – it’s heavy industrial kit.
What’s on offer
*
£38,000 – £43,000 basic salary (experience dependent)
*
Wealth of Overtime and call-out to increase overall earnings
*
Door to door pay
*
Company vehicle, tools, PPE and workwear
Field Service Engineer role
You’ll be responsible for installation, service, maintenance and repair of:
*
Heavy conveyors and material handling systems
*
Large electro‑mechanical gates and associated equipment
*
Pumps, shafts, bearings, gearboxes, chains, rams and pulleys
Day-to-day you will:
*
Strip down and rebuild mechanical assemblies
*
Diagnose and replace failed bearings, shafts, chains, etc.
*
Fault-find on electrical control panels with PLCs (no programming), safety relays, E‑stops, sensors/photocells and motor controllers
What we’re looking for
Background (must be heavy/industrial). Examples that work well:
*
Heavy manufacturing / processing (e.g. building products, aggregates, heavy plant)
*
Industrial conveyor / materials handling environments
*
Agricultural / large off‑highway machinery
*
Ex‑Forces engineers used to large electro‑mechanical systems
Skill Requirements
Ideally:
*
50/50 electro‑mechanical, or electrically biased with strong mechanical skills
*
Strong mechanical engineers with good exposure to electrics who are keen to upskill
You should be able to:
*
Strip and rebuild pumps, shafts and bearings
*
Work safely with heavy components and lifting equipment
*
Understand how control panels and PLC-based systems function (inputs/outputs, safety circuits)
*
Fault-find electrically in a logical, step-by-step way – breaking a big panel into smaller circuits rather than “pulling wires” at random
*
Be confident around electrics and willing to learn more (full training given on our systems)
The person
*
Practical, “hands-dirty” engineer who doesn’t mind graft
*
Happy working outdoors, sometimes in poor weather
*
Positive attitude, wants to learn, especially on the electrical side
Some of our best engineers started from a strong mechanical background and developed the electrical side with us.
Requirements
*
Based within reasonable travel of Wembley / Kingston Upon Thames / Guildford / Bromley etc
*
Full UK driving licence (we will check licence status/bans/points)
*
British passport holder in the UK
*
Happy to do 1 week in 4 on call (inc weekends)
