Type: Full-time, Permanent

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)
Hours: Monday-Friday, 37.5 hours/week on-site plus travel
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
