Field Service Engineer
 
If you enjoy life on the road, working across multiple territories, and spending significant time away from home, this Field Service Engineer role is built for you. This is a Field Service Engineer opportunity for engineers who thrive on travel, autonomy, and technically demanding work across Southern Ireland, Northern Ireland, the North of England, and Scotland.
 
As a Field Service Engineer, you will spend a large proportion of your time travelling across Southern Ireland (circa 50%), the North of England and Scotland (circa 30%), and Northern Ireland (circa 20%), supporting customers with the installation, servicing, and repair of high-precision CNC and metal-cutting machinery. This is not a local patch role and will involve regular overnight stays and extended periods away from home.
 
You will be responsible for delivering high-quality technical service rather than high-volume callouts, acting as the technical face of the business in the field. The role offers structured manufacturer training, exposure to advanced machinery, and optional international travel for further development.
