Field Maintenance Technician – CNC Machine Tools

Field Maintenance Technician – CNC Machine Tools

West Midlands | £26,000–£30,000 + Guaranteed Bonus | Permanent

A leading CNC machine tool manufacturer is recruiting a Field Maintenance Technician to cover the West Midlands — a role that's opened up because the previous person in it was promoted internally.

This is a genuine entry point into CNC service engineering. You don't need prior machine tool experience — full training will be provided. What matters is a solid mechanical background, a sharp troubleshooting mind, and the drive to develop your skills in a field-based role with real long-term potential.

The Role

• Servicing, maintaining and fault-finding on CNC equipment at customer sites across the region

• Diagnosing and resolving technical issues while delivering a high standard of customer service

• Managing your own schedule and travelling independently to client locations

• Keeping tools, equipment and company vehicle maintained to a professional standard

What We're Looking For

• Solid mechanical maintenance experience — workshop, production maintenance or similar

• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability

• A quick learner who picks up new technical skills with ease

• Self-sufficient, proactive and comfortable working independently

• Full UK driving licence

• Happy with regular regional travel

• CNC machine tool experience is a bonus — the right mechanical foundation and attitude will take you further than specific machine knowledge

What's on Offer

• £26,000–£30,000 depending on experience

• Guaranteed bonus: £6,000–£8,500

• BMW 330e company car

• Full tool kit provided

• Comprehensive training on CNC systems

• Clear progression pathway — proven by the fact this role exists because the last person was promoted

A permanent, field-based role with a clear career trajectory. Bring the mechanical background and the appetite to learn — the rest will follow.
