Would you thrive in a structured, team-driven environment where precision, safety, and mission delivery are key?

Our client, a global leader in hydraulic testing and motion simulation systems, is growing. Established in the 1950s, they have built a reputation for engineering excellence and now seeking a Trainee Field Service Engineer to join their technical team.
They’re looking for individuals with a military engineering background - especially from REME, RAF, or Royal Navy who are ready to transition into a civilian career while still operating with discipline, commitment, and a solutions-focused mindset.

* With qualifications such as NVQ Level 4 / HND / HNC in Engineering
You’ll be comfortable working independently or as part of a team, and open to travel (approx. 50% annually). Some weeks may involve Monday to Friday stays away, other weeks just a few days.
