An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Field Service Engineer to join a growing, customer-focused engineering business specialising in radiation detection and monitoring equipment. The Field Service Engineer will be based out of Henfield, covering customers across the UK, providing technical support, servicing, maintenance and repairs of specialist radiation monitoring systems. This role would suit an experienced Field Service Engineer or a junior engineer looking to move into field service. Candidates with a good electronics background, practical fault-finding skills and the ability to solder will also be considered, even if they have limited field service experience.
The Role
The Field Service Engineer will be responsible for:
- Carrying out preventative maintenance, upgrades, fault diagnosis and repairs on radiation monitoring equipment.
- Travelling to customer sites across the UK to provide technical support and servicing.
- Providing remote technical support and resolving customer issues.
