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 2× 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
