Company Car
Industry Leading Staff Benefits
Overtime Paid Door-to-Door
UK Travel with Some Expectation of Overseas Work

 

Are you a skilled electrical engineer who thrives on variety, challenge, and seeing the direct impact of your expertise?
This is your chance to join one of the print industry’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global name in advanced print & packaging technology — as they expand their UK service team.

You’ll work on some of print’s most technically advanced production / post-press systems, supporting high-profile manufacturing sites across the UK and occasionally overseas.

If you want a role where your knowledge is truly valued, and you’ll be rewarded with first-class training, earning potential, and benefits — read on.

So long as you're based within good travel distance of the motorway network - this role could be right for you!

 

What You’ll Do

  • Install, service, maintain and repair cutting-edge print production machinery / post-press machinery at customer sites.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex electrical and control issues.
  • Support customers with breakdowns and preventative maintenance to keep production moving.
  • Travel across the UK (with occasional overseas trips) — no fixed territory, meaning varied work and exposure to a wide range of equipment.

 

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Attractive Earnings – Up to a ÂŁ40k starting salary with realistic OTE of ÂŁ60k (overtime is plentiful and paid door-to-door).
  • Premium Company Car – “User chooser” scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250, Audi A3, BMW 225.
  • Travel Variety – UK-wide with occasional international trips — every week is different.
  • 25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you don’t lose out when taking time off.
  • Healthcare & Protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years’ service.
  • Long-Term Security – Industry-leading pension scheme (employer contributions increase with length of service — up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
  • Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
  • Structured Development – Ongoing training on world-class machinery and opportunities to progress within a global engineering team.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • A qualified, electrically biased engineer with an advanced technical mindset – someone with a genuine interest in getting stuck in.
  • Experience in field service, maintenance, or installation (ideally print equipment but complex FMCG, manufacturing, or industrial machinery backgrounds also considered).
  • Confident working independently, solving problems on complex equipment.
  • Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
  • Based in England, ideally near good motorway links (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).

 

The Opportunity

This is an excellent chance to join a financially strong, globally recognised machinery manufacturer that genuinely invests in its engineers.
If you’re looking for technical challenge, variety, and excellent earning potential with a company that rewards loyalty and expertise, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.
