Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Field Service Engineer to join a well‑established manufacturer of industrial automation and packaging machinery. This role will suit an electrically biased, multi‑skilled engineer who enjoys fault finding and working on customer sites across a range of manufacturing environments.
The successful Field Service Engineer can be based anywhere in the UK. The position is heavily site‑based and could suit someone at the earlier stage of their career who is progressing well and wants to accelerate their development in a hands‑on, customer‑facing role.

* Completing preventative maintenance activities and installing retrofit upgrades
* Acting as the on‑site representative of the business, building strong working relationships with customers
* Identifying opportunities for improvements, spare parts and ongoing service support
* This role involves significant travel – around 95% of your time will be spent away from home, with approximately 75% of site work within the UK and the remainder overseas.
The ideal Field Service Engineer will have –
* Electrically biased but multi‑skilled background; including controls, drives and fault finding
* Experience within manufacturing environments such as FMCG, food or automotive
* Exposure to industrial automation, packaging machinery or special purpose equipment
* Strong problem‑solving ability and confidence working independently
* Clear communication skills and a professional approach on customer sites
* Full UK driving licence
Package and benefits –
* Company car included
* Overtime paid at x1.3 for hours worked over 7.5 per day
* Strong earning potential through overtime and travel
* Opportunity to develop quickly within a growing, international engineering business
