We're working with a leading provider of medical imaging equipment that prides itself on low staff turnover, a supportive culture, and genuine career progression. Due to growth, they're looking for a Field Service Engineer to join their technical team working on the installation, maintenance, and repair of digital X-ray systems across hospitals and, occasionally, veterinary sites.

This role is ideal for ex-Forces engineers with a strong hands-on background - especially those from REME, the RAF, or the Royal Navy - but is equally open to engineers from other industries with solid experience in electrical and mechanical maintenance.

About the Role:

Installing, servicing, and repairing the companies and third-party digital X-ray systems
Supporting hospital and veterinary clients with professional, customer-focused service
Covering a territory primarily across Scotland (e.g. Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen), with some travel to Newcastle and Carlisle
Minimal overnight stays - typically once every 1-2 months
Collaborating with technical specialists and internal support teams

What's on Offer:

Salary: £37,000-£43,000 depending on experience
Paid Overtime: After 43.5 hours/week including travel (x1.5 Mon-Sat, x2 Sun/Bank Holidays)

Company Car or Allowance: £5,400
Pension: 3% employee / 5% employer
Life Assurance: 4x salary
Holidays: 25 days + 8 bank holidays (33 days total)
Group Income Protection
Sick Pay: 5 days (rising to 10 days after 2 years' service)
No on-call rota, though included in contract for potential future need

Training & Progression:

Full, structured training provided over 2-3 years
The business invests approx. £10,000 per engineer, so they're looking for individuals interested in long-term progression
Ongoing technical development with clear routes into senior or specialist roles
Supportive, collaborative team with regular recognition for great work

Who This Would Suit:

Ideal backgrounds:

Ex-military engineers (REME, RAF, Navy) with electrical, mechanical, or electronic maintenance experience
Engineers from sectors such as medical, vending, ATMs, capital equipment, or industrial machinery
Strong experience working with electromechanical systems (e.g. motors, sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics)

Key qualities:

Hands-on problem solver who can think on their feet
Comfortable working independently in the field
Professional and personable with great communication skills
Based near Carlisle or within commuting distance
Keen to learn and grow in a long-term role

If you're looking for a technical field role with variety, development, and long-term security - this is a fantastic opportunity to join a team that truly values its engineers

How to Find Hidden Medical Technology Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, ABHI & More

Medical technology (medtech) is one of the UK’s most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors—combining engineering, healthcare, data science, and innovation. From diagnostic devices and surgical robotics to wearable sensors and AI-powered imaging, medtech is reshaping modern healthcare delivery. But while the demand for skilled professionals is high, many of the best medtech jobs in the UK are never publicly advertised. Instead, these roles are often filled through industry networks, professional associations, CPD events, and member-only job boards. In this article, we’ll explore how to uncover hidden medical technology jobs by strategically engaging with professional bodies like the IMechE, ABHI, TechUK, and other communities. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups (SIGs), and innovation networks to connect with employers and discover opportunities before they’re posted online.

How to Get a Better Medical Technology Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the medical technology sector can feel both personally and professionally challenging. Whether your role was in medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, or clinical engineering, the good news is this: demand for medtech talent in the UK remains high, particularly with the ongoing push for NHS innovation, remote monitoring, and AI-driven diagnostics. This guide is here to help you bounce back from redundancy and step into a better role—equipped with new focus, confidence, and strategy.

Medical Technology Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Pinpoint Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s salary guide is already obsolete for UK med‑tech professionals Ask a Biomedical Engineer debugging ECG firmware at 2 a.m., a Regulatory Affairs Specialist deciphering post‑Brexit UKCA routes, or a Field Service Engineer racing between NHS Trusts to install endoscopy towers: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer mutates every quarter. EU MDR compliance deadlines squeeze regulatory talent, AI‑powered diagnostics attract Silicon‑Valley cash to Cambridge, & the NHS rolls out virtual wards, spiking demand for connected‑device integration. A salary survey printed in 2024 is now a relic—unaware of the AI‑as‑a‑medical‑device (AIaMD) explosion, the North‑East orthopaedic implant boom, or the MHRA’s new Software & AI roadmap. To kill guesswork, MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 UK salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority; out pops a defensible benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” ranges. This article explains the formula, unpacks the forces pushing med‑tech pay ever higher, & sets out five tangible actions to boost your market value in the next ninety days.
