Field Service Engineer – Heavy Industrial​/Electro‑Mechanical

Field Service Engineer – Heavy Industrial / Electro‑Mechanical

Location:

South London (M3 / M23 Corridors)
Salary: £38,000 – £43,000 + overtime + benefits (£50,000 - £55,000 OTE)
Job type:
Permanent, full-time | Field-based

We’re recruiting a hands-on Field Service Engineer to cover South London and the Surrey Hills (Woking / Guildford / Epsom / Crawley etc), working on large, heavy-duty electro‑mechanical gate and materials handling systems.

This is not light commercial or domestic work – it’s heavy industrial kit.

What’s on offer

* £38,000 – £43,000 basic salary (experience dependent)

* Wealth of Overtime and call-out to increase overall earnings

* Door to door pay

* Company vehicle, tools, PPE and workwear

Field Service Engineer role

You’ll be responsible for installation, service, maintenance and repair of:

* Heavy conveyors and material handling systems

* Large electro‑mechanical gates and associated equipment

* Pumps, shafts, bearings, gearboxes, chains, rams and pulleys

Day-to-day you will:

* Strip down and rebuild mechanical assemblies

* Diagnose and replace failed bearings, shafts, chains, etc.

* Fault-find on electrical control panels with PLCs (no programming), safety relays, E‑stops, sensors/photocells and motor controllers

What we’re looking for

Background (must be heavy/industrial). Examples that work well:

* Heavy manufacturing / processing (e.g. building products, aggregates, heavy plant)

* Industrial conveyor / materials handling environments

* Agricultural / large off‑highway machinery

* Ex‑Forces engineers used to large electro‑mechanical systems

Skill Requirements

Ideally:

* 50/50 electro‑mechanical, or electrically biased with strong mechanical skills

* Strong mechanical engineers with good exposure to electrics who are keen to upskill

You should be able to:

* Strip and rebuild pumps, shafts and bearings

* Work safely with heavy components and lifting equipment

* Understand how control panels and PLC-based systems function (inputs/outputs, safety circuits)

* Fault-find electrically in a logical, step-by-step way – breaking a big panel into smaller circuits rather than “pulling wires” at random

* Be confident around electrics and willing to learn more (full training given on our systems)

The person

* Practical, “hands-dirty” engineer who doesn’t mind graft

* Happy working outdoors, sometimes in poor weather

* Positive attitude, wants to learn, especially on the electrical side

Some of our best engineers started from a strong mechanical background and developed the electrical side with us.

Requirements

* Based within reasonable travel of Wembley / Kingston Upon Thames / Guildford / Bromley etc

* Full UK driving licence (we will check licence status/bans/points)

* British passport holder in the UK

* Happy to do 1 week in 4 on call (inc weekends)

Interested? Hit APPLY and we will be in touch with more details.
