Field Maintenance Engineer – Mechanical
£45,000 plus excellent overtime rates
Location – Ideally you will be Midlands based - Between Birmingham & Leeds but will also look at candidates from Newcastle or London.
UK Wide Travel | Extensive Training & Development | Long-Term Career Progression
Are you a mechanically minded engineer who enjoys being hands-on, travelling across the UK, and working with customers on-site?
We are recruiting for a Field Maintenance Engineer to join a highly respected international engineering business that is known for investing heavily in its people, providing exceptional training, and offering genuine long-term career opportunities.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys mechanical engineering, inspections, and working independently in the field. The role will see you visiting customer sites throughout the UK, carrying out planned maintenance inspections on advanced industrial machinery and equipment.
Unlike many field service positions, this role initially focuses on preventative maintenance and detailed inspections rather than reactive breakdowns and troubleshooting. Full schedules are planned several weeks in advance, allowing engineers to effectively manage their workload and travel commitments.
One of the standout aspects of this role is the level of support provided to field engineers. A dedicated travel team manages all accommodation, transport and logistics, meaning you won't spend your evenings booking hotels, planning routes or organising travel arrangements. Everything is coordinated for you in advance, allowing you to focus on what you do best: delivering high-quality inspections, building customer relationships, and developing your engineering expertise.
The Role
As a Field Maintenance Engineer, you will:
Travel to customer sites across the UK carrying out scheduled maintenance inspections
Complete detailed inspections following established maintenance procedures and checklists
Produce clear customer reports highlighting findings and recommendations
Identify wear, damage, or potential maintenance requirements
Build positive relationships with customers during site visits
Stay away from home during the working week as required
Work closely with the wider service team to ensure excellent customer supportOver time, as your knowledge and experience develop, there will be opportunities to become involved in repair work and progress into a fully-fledged Service Engineer position.
What We're Looking For
Mechanical Engineering qualification, apprenticeship, or equivalent hands-on experience
Practical engineering skills and confidence working on mechanical equipment
Comfortable using tools and carrying out inspections on-site
Excellent communication and report-writing skills
Willingness to travel extensively across the UK and stay away during the week
Professional, customer-focused approach
Someone looking for a long-term career opportunity rather than a short-term moveWhat's On Offer
Comprehensive training programme and ongoing development
Clear long-term career progression into Service Engineering
Opportunity to work for a highly professional and supportive organisation
Structured work planning with schedules prepared well in advance
Exposure to advanced engineering equipment and technology
Strong team culture with genuine investment in employee development
Long-term stability and career growth opportunitiesWhy Apply?
This is far more than just another field engineering role. You'll be joining a business that genuinely values its people, invests in their development, and provides the support needed to build a successful long-term career. From structured training and clear progression pathways through to a dedicated travel team that handles all your accommodation and logistics, every effort is made to allow engineers to focus on their development and delivering an excellent service to customers. If you're looking for a company where training, progression and employee support are part of the culture, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
