Field Service Multi-Skilled Engineer (Electrical / Horticulture Systems)
£50,000+
Based in Hull
UK travel required
Company van and fuel card provided
This is a field-based engineering role supporting horticultural and controlled environment systems across the UK.
The focus is on maintaining and improving automated growing environments where environmental control systems, electrical infrastructure and mechanical equipment all work together to keep production stable and consistent.
Candidates from food manufacturing are welcome, particularly where they have strong electrical and multi-skilled maintenance experience, but the core environment here is horticulture and controlled systems rather than food production.
What you'll be doing
Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across UK sites
Responding to reactive breakdowns and system faults
Diagnosing and repairing electrical and mechanical issues across controlled environment systems
Supporting horticultural and automated growing operations
Working independently on customer sites, often with minimal supervision
Completing accurate service reports and maintenance documentation
Managing your own workload across multiple UK locations
Occasional overnight stays depending on travel requirements
What we're looking for
Strong multi-skilled engineering background, ideally with an electrical bias
Experience in horticulture, agriculture, controlled environment systems, or similar automation-heavy settings
Food manufacturing engineers will be considered where strong electrical and maintenance experience is present
Confident fault-finding across electrical and mechanical systems
Experience with PPM and reactive maintenance in live operational environments
Comfortable working across varied environments, including plant rooms and production facilities
Willingness to travel extensively across the UK and stay away when required
Self-sufficient, organised and capable of working independently
Strong communication skills when working with site teams and operators
Full UK driving licence
The reality of the role
This is not a single-site maintenance job.
You'll be moving between different controlled environments where reliability is critical and systems are often operating continuously. The work is varied, technically interesting and requires engineers who are comfortable thinking on their feet without constant supervision.
If you want routine, fixed-site work, this won't suit you. If you want autonomy, variety and exposure to modern controlled environment engineeringDo not include the following in your job application, CV, or cover letter:
