We are recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to work on advanced automated entry systems used in high-profile commercial and secure environments across the UK.

* Fully equipped van (business use), tools and expenses covered
* Genuine autonomy - manage your own day, no constant supervision
* Work on specialist systems used in premium commercial environments
* Opportunities for occasional international work, including Europe
* Strong pipeline of pre-planned projects alongside reactive work
What we need from you
* Strong electromechanical engineering background
* Confident fault-finding and repair capability on complex equipment
* Ability to work independently in the field without hand-holding
* Practical, hands-on approach with a logical mindset
* Comfortable with travel, overnight stays and occasional xsngvjr unsociable hours

* Experience with barriers, portals or automated systems is beneficial but not essential
Location & requirements

* CSCS or ECS card required (support available if expired or not held)
* Enhanced DBS check required
* Initial office onboarding before field deployment
