Are you a Senior Field Service Engineer or Engineering Supervisor looking to step into a leadership role while still remaining hands‑on, with excellent earning potential and real influence over a small engineering team?

On offer is a unique opportunity to join a growing materials handling business in a hybrid role combining technical expertise with team leadership. You will spend the majority of your time in the field (around 70%), while also mentoring engineers, supporting complex diagnostics, and helping drive team performance.

Due to continued growth, the company is exploring the addition of a Technical Specialist / Team Leader to support a small regional team and enhance technical capability across key customer sites.

This role would suit an experienced Field Service Engineer from a plant, forklift, or similar background who is confident with advanced diagnostics and is looking to take the next step into leadership without losing the hands‑on element of the role.

• Service, maintenance, and repair of forklifts and materials handling equipment
• Diagnose complex faults across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and electronic systems
• Provide technical support and guidance to a team of 3-4 Field Engineers
• Act as the escalation point for advanced diagnostics and recurring issues
• Manage your own customer base, including servicing schedules and breakdowns
• Support team performance, workload planning, and first‑time fix rates

• Senior Field Service Engineer or Technical Specialist background
• Strong experience with electrical diagnostics and fault finding
• Experience working on plant, forklifts, or similar equipment
• Full UK driving licence
