Astute's Renewables Team is exclusively partnering with a leading business in the UK's transition to electric vehicles. We're looking for a Field Service Engineer to service and maintain a network of EV chargers along with specific EV forecourts too. Their power comes from renewable energy sources too, so this is a chance to join the green revolution and contribute to a greener world here in the UK.
The Field Service Engineer role comes with a salary up to £41,000, with a company electric van plus excellent benefits. The role is regional around the middle South and slightly West, so think Basingstoke across to Bath, up to Swindon and down to the south coast.
