We are recruiting a Service Engineer to cover customers across the Kettering, Leicester and Newark region, working for a manufacturer and supplier of industrial packaging machinery.
This is a home-based field role, travelling directly to customer sites to install, service, repair and commission machinery. You'll have a scheduled workload and will only need to travel to the company's head office periodically to collect parts, restock the van or when otherwise required.
Packaging machinery experience would be useful, but it isn't essential. We're much more interested in someone who has worked hands-on with industrial machinery and has strong electrical fault-finding skills alongside a good mechanical understanding.
