Field Service Engineer

The Opportunity

Scientia Talent have partnered with a well-established, independent manufacturer of high-precision laboratory and process instruments. Following continued growth in their UK service business, they are now looking to appoint a Field Service Engineer to cover the North West.

The Role

You'll look after a broad portfolio of advanced analytical instruments, with full product training provided. They value attitude as much as experience: people who take pride in their work, want to be part of the company and are keen to grow with it.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance and calibration of analytical instruments to company service standards, completing all documentation accurately.
• Diagnose and repair faults at customer sites or in-house, providing detailed service reports.
• Install new systems and train customers on operation and routine care.
• Provide remote technical support to customers and colleagues by phone and online.
• Support the wider service team on larger multi-instrument contracts, including occasional overnight stays.
• Manage your own diary, car stock, and calibrated tools and test equipment.
• Spot service and instrument sales opportunities during visits and record all activity in the CRM system.

Essential Requirements

• HNC or above in an engineering or science discipline (electronics preferred), or equivalent experience or forces technical training.
• Field service experience on complex technical equipment. Analytical or laboratory instrumentation is ideal, but experience from other complex electromechanical equipment such as print and office equipment, weighing systems or medical devices will be considered.
• Strong electronic fault-finding skills and confidence with standard test equipment. Experience with compressed gases, hazardous substances and 230V/400V systems is an advantage.
• Organised, self-motivated and a clear communicator, comfortable with CRM systems and MS Office.
• Full, clean UK driving licence and based within or close to the North West patch.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive base salary plus company and performance-related bonus.
• Company car and a competitive benefits package.
• Full technical training across a broad, advanced product portfolio.
• A  stable, independently owned business focused on long-term growth rather than short-term targets.
• A  supportive management style that empowers engineers and invests in their development.
• Genuine potential for progression within a growing service team.
