Mechanical Service Engineer

Job Posted: 15 days ago

Salary: £ 35,000 - 38,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Dartford, Kent

Expire in: 12 days

Job Description

Field Service Engineer (Electro-Mechanical – Mechanical Bias)
📍 Dartford, Kent + International Travel
💰 £35,000 – £38,000 DOE + Overtime (1.5x)
🕒 35 hours per week | Monday – Friday
Why This Role Stands Out
If you're a hands-on engineer who enjoys variety, travel, and working with high-quality machinery, this role offers something different from the typical service position.
You’ll split your time between our Dartford site and travelling globally to support well-known brands, installing and maintaining bespoke packaging machinery. With fully paid international travel, no night call-outs, and structured overtime, this role offers both balance and opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing
  * Installing and commissioning bespoke packaging machinery worldwide
  * Carrying out servicing, maintenance, and fault-finding (mechanical & electrical)
  * Supporting customers on-site with technical issues and troubleshooting
  * Conducting machine surveys and preventative maintenance
  * Training customer staff on machine operation and best practices
  * Building strong relationships with customers as a key technical contact
  * Supporting the Dartford site with workshop-based engineering when not travelling
What We’re Looking For
  * Experience in a Field Service or maintenance engineering role
  * Strong electro-mechanical skills, with a mechanical bias
  * Confident fault-finding and problem-solving ability
  * Comfortable working in a customer-facing environment
  * Flexible approach to travel and working hours
  * Full UK driving licence
This role suits someone who enjoys a mix of independence, travel, and hands-on engineering, and who can adapt to a reactive environment when needed.
What You’ll Get in Return
  * £35,000 – £38,000 basic salary (DOE)
  * Overtime paid at 1.5x (including weekends)
  * All international travel fully expensed
  * Company vehicle (car or van)
  * Fuel covered + company debit card & hotel card
  * No night call-outs
  * 35-hour working week
  * Full training on specialist machinery
  * Opportunity to develop skills working with advanced, bespoke equipment
  * Exposure to international projects and global clients
The Reality of the Role
This is a varied and sometimes reactive position. Plans can change, and customer needs can arise at short notice. In return, you’ll gain experience that few engineering roles can offer — working across different countries, industries, and technologies
