The Role
Are you an instrumentation engineer who thrives on problem solving, precision, and variety? Join us as an Instrumentation Field Service Engineer and play a critical role in maintaining and improving the systems that keep our operations running safely and efficiently.
This is a hands on role focused squarely on instrumentation assets-working with pressure, flow, and temperature measurement, sensors, switches, and weighing systems across our sites. No two days are the same. One day you could be fault finding a pressure transmitter, the next carrying out calibration, inspections, or supporting operational improvements alongside production teams.
You'll work in a modern maintenance environment where safety, compliance, and asset reliability come first. We value practical engineering expertise, attention to detail, and a proactive mindset-and we'll support you with structured training and development to help you deepen your instrumentation capability over time.
While the role offers a high level of independence in the field, you'll never be on your own. You'll be part of a knowledgeable, supportive engineering team that shares best practice, tackles challenges together, and takes pride in doing the job right.
What you'll be doing:
- Delivering a high-quality, efficient instrumentation maintenance and installation service that keeps everything running like clockwork.
- Diagnosing and fixing faults with precision-making sure all instrumentation and systems-based equipment are operating at their best.
- Taking a proactive approach to maintenance, carrying out planned tasks to prevent issues before they arise.
- Championing safety by ensuring full compliance with Health & Safety regulations and internal policies.
- Keeping a close eye on the numbers by managing budgets effectively and maintaining financial control.
- Providing accurate, reliable asset performance and repair data to feed into our corporate systems-your insights will help drive smarter decisions.
- Tackling recurring maintenance issues head-on by analysing root causes and recommending long-term solutions.
What you'll need to bring:
- Qualifications you must be a time served apprentice or equivalent, supported with academic qualification(s) minimum NVQ level 3.
- Full UK driving license is essential due to the mobile nature of the role.
- Field service experience- Proven experience in an electrical maintenance or engineering role, ideally in a field-based or utilities environment.
- Fault-finding expertise- Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills across electrical systems, controls, and instrumentation.
- Knowledge of flow, level & measurable instruments- Familiarity with maintaining, calibrating and servicing equipment particularly in water, wastewater, or similar process industries.
- Health & Safety awareness- Solid understanding of safe systems of work, risk assessments, and permit-to-work systems.
- Team player- Comfortable working independently while maintaining strong communication and collaboration with on-site teams and contractors.
This role may not be eligible for visa sponsorship.
