Job Description

Field Service Engineer – Electrical
Realistic earnings ~£52,500 | Every weekend at home
When did a breakdown last ruin your evening? If the answer stings, read on — because this field engineering job has no call-outs, no weekends and no reactive work at all. Everything is planned weeks ahead, on some of the most advanced electrical technology in the UK power industry.

What's in it for you
  • Realistic earnings around £52,500 — up to £42,500 basic plus a reliable ~£10,000 a year in overnight allowance
  • £70 for every day you finish after 7pm, overnight stay or not
  • All work planned in advance — nothing reactive, nothing out-of-hours
  • Monday to Friday only, travel and accommodation covered, fully equipped company van
  • 30 days' holiday rising to 35 with service, pension, life insurance
  • Structured training from Technician through Engineer level and beyond — skills very few engineers in the UK hold
The work
Installing, surveying and maintaining intelligent monitoring systems across the UK's high-voltage electricity network — the equipment that spots a failing asset months before it fails. It's proper diagnostic engineering for major energy operators, with a specialist that designs and builds its own technology and has a multi-year national programme ahead of it. You'll be away overnight roughly half the time, midweek only, and home every single weekend.

What you'll need
  • An industrial or commercial engineering background with an electrical bias
  • The instinct to find the cause of a fault, not just record it
  • Comfort with regular midweek travel
  • A full UK driving licence and willingness to complete background checks for network sites
Whether you're currently a maintenance engineer, electrical technician, service engineer or test engineer — if you want your trade to take you somewhere more interesting, apply.
