Job Description

Location; UK-Wide (Field-Based)

We are working with a global leader in industrial shredding, recycling and material handling systems, supplying and supporting equipment used across the waste management, recycling, wood processing, plastics and industrial manufacturing sectors. The business operates a nationwide field service model with a strong focus on reliability, aftersales support and customer uptime.

This is a great opportunity for a Field Service Engineer who is looking for variety, autonomy and hands-on work with market-leading processing equipment, within a small, close-knit and growing service team.

You will be field-based, covering customer sites across the UK, with around 60% of your time spent on the road including regular overnight stays, and the remainder based from home. The role runs Monday to Friday. There is no fixed overtime, but any additional hours worked are given back as time off in lieu, with weekend call-out work paid at an enhanced rate when required. Full training will be provided to bring you up to speed on the equipment, and you will work as part of a team of three, with plans in place to grow this further.

This role would suit an experienced mechanical engineer from a recycling, waste management or process plant background, ideally with exposure to shredders, balers or similar capital equipment. You will enjoy working independently, building relationships with customers on-site, and want to be part of a supportive team with genuine scope to grow as the business expands.

Carry out planned inspection visits and preventative maintenance across UK customer sites
	
Diagnose and repair mechanical faults on shredders, balers and related processing equipment
	
Work on hydraulics, bearings, gearboxes, drives and rotating equipment
	
Support installations, commissioning and equipment upgrades
	
Complete detailed service reports and maintenance recommendations
	
Support parts identification and maintenance planning
	
Promote safe working practices, including safe working at height

Skills & Qualifications of a Field Service Engineer:

Apprentice-trained or mechanically qualified engineer with strong fault-finding skills
	
Experience with industrial machinery or process equipment; recycling, waste handling, shredders or balers desirable
	
Comfortable working at height and staying away from home on a regular basis
	
Full UK driving licence
	
Strong communication skills, with the ability to work autonomously as part of a close-knit service team

Benefits of a Field Service Engineer:

£45,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
	
Monday to Friday, field-based role (approx. 60% travel/overnight, 40% home-based)
	
Time off in lieu for additional hours worked, plus enhanced pay for weekend call-outs
	
Company van provided
	
Full training and ongoing technical development
	
Small, supportive team of three with plans to grow further
