Mechanical Service Engineer

Field Service Engineer (Electro-Mechanical – Mechanical Bias) 📍 Dartford, Kent + International Travel 💰 £35,000 – £38,000 DOE + Overtime (1.5x) 🕒 35 hours per week | Monday – Friday Why This Role Stands Out If you're a hands-on engineer who enjoys variety, travel, and working with high-quality machinery, this role offers something different from the typical service position. You’ll split your time between our Dartford site and travelling globally to support well-known brands, installing and maintaining bespoke packaging machinery. With fully paid international travel, no night call-outs, and structured overtime, this role offers both balance and opportunity. What You’ll Be Doing * Installing and commissioning bespoke packaging machinery worldwide * Carrying out servicing, maintenance, and fault-finding (mechanical & electrical) * Supporting customers on-site with technical issues and troubleshooting * Conducting machine surveys and preventative maintenance * Training customer staff on machine operation and best practices * Building strong relationships with customers as a key technical contact * Supporting the Dartford site with workshop-based engineering when not travelling What We’re Looking For * Experience in a Field Service or maintenance engineering role * Strong electro-mechanical skills, with a mechanical bias * Confident fault-finding and problem-solving ability * Comfortable working in a customer-facing environment * Flexible approach to travel and working hours * Full UK driving licence This role suits someone who enjoys a mix of independence, travel, and hands-on engineering, and who can adapt to a reactive environment when needed. What You’ll Get in Return * £35,000 – £38,000 basic salary (DOE) * Overtime paid at 1.5x (including weekends) * All international travel fully expensed * Company vehicle (car or van) * Fuel covered + company debit card & hotel card * No night call-outs * 35-hour working week * Full training on specialist machinery * Opportunity to develop skills working with advanced, bespoke equipment * Exposure to international projects and global clients The Reality of the Role This is a varied and sometimes reactive position. Plans can change, and customer needs can arise at short notice. In return, you’ll gain experience that few engineering roles can offer — working across different countries, industries, and technologies
