Senior Field Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Senior Field Engineer to provide technical leadership and hands-on support across a range of customer sites and operational environments. The role will involve planning, coordinating and delivering installation, commissioning, maintenance and fault-finding activities, ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently and to the required technical standards. You will act as a trusted point of contact for customers, site teams and internal stakeholders, translating technical requirements into practical solutions and maintaining clear communication throughout each project.


Key responsibilities will include diagnosing complex equipment or system issues, carrying out inspections and preventive maintenance, supporting testing and commissioning, and producing accurate service reports and technical documentation. You will also provide guidance to field engineers and subcontractors, assist with project planning and resource allocation, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. The successful candidate will be expected to identify potential risks, escalate issues appropriately and ensure compliance with relevant health and safety, quality and environmental procedures. Regular travel to customer and project sites will be required, with occasional overnight stays or out-of-hours support depending on operational needs.


Applicants should have substantial experience in a field engineering, service engineering or commissioning role, ideally within a technical, industrial, manufacturing, energy or infrastructure environment. A relevant engineering qualification, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience is required, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings, manuals and schematics. You will need strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills, excellent attention to detail and confidence working independently in varied locations. Effective written and verbal communication is essential, as is a professional approach to customer service. A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel are also required. Experience of supervising others, managing site activities and working within regulated environments would be advantageous.
