Are you a technically skilled military engineer ready to deploy your expertise in a civilian role where precision, discipline and professionalism genuinely matter?
DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.
My client is seeking a Field Service Engineer to install, maintain and support specialist medical equipment across the UK and overseas. This role is ideally suited to former Royal Signals personnel, RAF engineers, Royal Navy weapons/electronics engineers, or REME technicians looking to transition into a high-specification, safety-critical engineering environment.
If you are used to working on complex electronic systems, operating to strict procedures, and delivering under pressure this is a natural next step.
The Role
You will be responsible for the installation, commissioning, servicing and fault diagnosis of specialist medical systems used in clinical environments.
This is a front-line technical role customer-facing, autonomous, and requiring the highest professional standards.
You will represent the company on-site, often working independently, applying structured fault-finding skills and disciplined engineering practice developed through military service as well as full training by the client on their equipment
What You’ll Be Doing

What You’ll Bring
Essential:
- Level 3 engineering qualification (or equivalent military trade qualification)
- Strong electronics / communications systems background
- Proven fault-finding and diagnostic ability
- Experience working in structured, procedural environments
- Ability to operate independently and manage your own workload
- Full UK driving licence
- Willingness to travel across the UK and internationally, as there will be about 40% travel in this role.
Highly Desirable:
- Experience with radiation-based or regulated equipment
- Experience in safety-critical environments
- Knowledge of networking / connectivity systems
- Exposure to medical or clinical environments
You will need these Key Attributes
- Calm under pressure
- Methodical and detail-focused
- Professional and customer-facing
- Self-motivated and disciplined
- Strong communicator
- High personal standards
Why This Role Could Suit YOU
You’ll be moving from maintaining operational capability to supporting life-saving clinical capability.
The environment demands:
- Procedural compliance
- Precision engineering
- Accountability
- Professional representation
- Independent decision-making
As all of the above strengths embedded in military training.
You will receive structured product training and ongoing technical development to support your transition into the medical engineering sector and they want the individual to be in place by June 2026
In return they are offering an excellent starting salary of up to £40k, with company pension, 28 days holiday + bank holidays and they are looking to add more benefits at the moment, all accommodation and travel costs will also be covered by the company when required.
