Field Service Engineer – Print Finishing Equipment

Job Description:

Field Service Engineer – Print Finishing Equipment
Up to £40,000 basic (OTE circa £70k)
Company Car
Industry-Leading Staff Benefits
Overtime Paid Door-to-Door
UK Travel with Some Expectation of Overseas Work

Are you a skilled engineer who thrives on technical challenge, variety, and working with world-class machinery?

This is your opportunity to join one of the print industry’s most respected global manufacturers as they expand their UK post-press service team.

You’ll install, service, and support some of the most advanced post-press systems in the market — working with high-profile print and packaging sites across the UK, with occasional projects in Europe.

If you want a role where your expertise is genuinely valued, backed by first-class training, long-term development, and excellent earning potential — keep reading.

So long as you're based within good travel distance of the motorway network, this could be the ideal next step.

What You’ll Do

• Install post-press equipment at customer sites in line with schedules and installation requirements.
• Diagnose faults, carry out repairs, and provide technical recommendations.
• Deliver operator training and machinery demonstrations to customer teams.
• Complete pre-planned service visits and preventative maintenance.
• Refer to technical documentation and work collaboratively with the wider engineering team.
• Accurately report on all work carried out, including actions taken and any outstanding items.
• Maintain professional, confident communication with customers and act as an ambassador for the business.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Attractive Earnings – Up to £40k basic with realistic OTE of £60k–£70k (door-to-door paid overtime is plentiful).
• Premium Company Car – “User-chooser” scheme; engineers currently drive Mercedes, Audi, BMW, etc.
• Travel Variety – UK-wide coverage with occasional European trips — no week looks the same.
• 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you’re not penalised for time off.
• Health & Protection Benefits – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical cover after 5 years.
• Long-Term Stability – Excellent pension scheme with employer contributions increasing over time.
• Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and Saturdays, double time for Sundays and bank holidays.
• Overnight Allowances – Paid for both UK and overseas stays.
• Structured Career Development – High-quality training on global-leading equipment, with long-term progression opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

• Recognised qualification in electrical or mechanical engineering or experience-based equivalent.
• Experience working with print finishing / post-press machinery.
• Strong diagnostic ability and a hands-on, methodical approach to problem-solving.
• Confident communicator with a customer-focused mindset.
• Comfortable travelling extensively and staying away from home when required (approximately 100 nights per year).
• Full driving licence.
• Based in England with good access to major motorway routes.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to join a financially strong, globally recognised engineering brand that invests heavily in its people.
If you’re looking for technical challenge, variety, autonomy, and a package that rewards loyalty and expertise — this is the career move you’ve been waiting for.
