Field Service Engineer

Role Overview

• 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.

Requirements

• 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).
