Mechatronics Field Engineer – Automation / Construction

Bristol / Cardiff | UK Travel

£50,000–£55,000 + £6,000 Car Allowance (Package circa £60K)

I’m partnering with a high-growth engineering technology company that’s genuinely ahead of the competition in construction automation. They’re scaling fast across new markets and building a strong UK field team to support increasing demand for their advanced automated systems.

If you enjoy being hands-on, site-based, and working with cutting-edge machinery rather than sitting behind a desk — this one’s for you.

The Role

You’ll be a key technical presence on customer sites, making sure specialist automated and robotic equipment is installed, commissioned, and running reliably in live construction and industrial environments.

Day to day, you’ll be:

• Carrying out inspections, diagnostics, servicing, and mechanical repairs on automated machinery

• Supporting system installation, setup, commissioning, and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

• Providing on-site technical support and operator guidance

• Troubleshooting mechanical and electro-mechanical faults in real-world site conditions

• Feeding back site experience and improvement ideas to internal engineering and product teams

• Keeping accurate service records and technical documentation

This is a field-based role with regular travel across the Bristol area and wider UK.

Why This Company?

This isn’t just another service engineer job.

You’ll be joining a proper scale-up business that is:

✔ Rapidly expanding into new sectors and territories

✔ Investing heavily in its technology and people

✔ Known for being well ahead of competitors in its niche

You’ll receive structured training and induction , including opportunities for overseas trips as part of product and systems training. All travel and expenses are covered. It’s a chance to get exposure to genuinely advanced automation tech that most engineers don’t get near.

About You

This role suits a mechanically biased engineer who’s confident in the field and enjoys solving problems on-site.

You’ll likely have:

✔ Experience as a Field Service Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, or Automation/Plant Engineer

✔ A background working with machinery, automation systems, construction plant, robotics, or similar specialist equipment

✔ Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills across mechanical and electro-mechanical systems

✔ The ability to work independently and represent the business professionally on-site

✔ Confidence communicating with both technical and non-technical people

✔ A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for site work
