Field Service Engineer

Field Service Engineer – Oxford

Department: Service - Field Service

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: UK/Field based

Reporting To: Field Service Manager

We’re looking for an experienced Field Service Engineer to support and maintain customer technology across a large territory.

This is a hands‑on role combining electro‑mechanical repair, Windows‑based diagnostics, and basic networking to keep customer sites operating reliably.

You’ll be trusted to work independently from day one — managing your workload, communicating professionally on site, and delivering a high‑quality service aligned to agreed service levels (SLAs).

Field-based (home‑start) | Company Vehicle | Full Training Provided | Driving Licence Required.

• This is a field role, so start/finish times vary with travel, customer opening hours, and priority needs.
• Core hours apply, however, because of the nature of the job flexibility is required.

• This role includes participation in a weekend/bank holiday support rota with additional pay.
• Potential of additional earnings through Weekend and Bank Holiday Rota participation.
• Opportunities to earn more by taking on additional weekend cover when available.
• Plus potential bonus and salary progression, subject to performance and business results.

Progression opportunities exist for the right person, including:

• Technical progression (advanced diagnostics, product expertise, specialist support).
• Leadership/management progression (coaching, planning, field leadership).

Undertake a mix of planned maintenance, installations/upgrades, and priority attendance when a customer has a time‑critical issue.

• Diagnosing faults efficiently using a structured approach (symptoms → logs/data → root cause → fix).
• Use a Windows laptop to access tools, review logs, complete updates/configuration, and document actions.
• Perform network connectivity tasks (LAN connections, IP settings, basic troubleshooting) to access device interfaces and confirm communications.
• Repair and maintain electro‑mechanical systems (modules, sensors, motors, transport mechanisms, power components).
• Carry out preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and improve reliability.
• Provide clear customer updates and set expectations during service activity.
• Complete accurate job documentation (work completed, parts used, findings, next steps) to support first‑time fix and audit quality.
• Escalate effectively when needed — providing clear evidence, logs, and fault context to technical support.

• You’ll work to agreed service levels (SLAs) that help keep customer operations running smoothly.
• Most work is planned and scheduled. When a customer has a time‑critical issue, you’ll prioritise it with support from scheduling and technical teams — aiming for a first‑time fix and minimal disruption.

• Proven field service experience in a customer environment (ideal backgrounds include ATMs, printers/MFDs, EPOS, kiosks, vending, security systems, cash‑handling or similar technology).
• Strong fault‑finding ability across electro‑mechanical systems.
• Confident using a Windows laptop for diagnostics, reporting, and communication.
• Networking competence: LAN/Ethernet, IP addressing, connectivity checks, and accessing device interfaces.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills (written and verbal).
• Ability to efficiently manage your day based on priorities and workload in conjunction with your Regional Service Controller
• Full UK driving licence.
• Networking self‑check (expected):
  If you can set a static IP, log into a router/switch, confidently troubleshoot a “no connection issues” and logically understand networking basics — you’ll be comfortable in this role.

• Experience adhering to SLAs and managing high‑priority callouts.
• Understanding of health & safety in the field (risk awareness, safe working, customer site standards).
• Experience with hardware/software upgrades, device configuration, or remote support tools.
• Coaching/mentoring ability (supporting less experienced engineers).
