Field Service Engineer – Central / South England Coverage (Remote)

Salary: £40,000 - £9,000 (depending on experience) + EV Car + Annual Bonus

Travel: Frequent national travel as required in the UK and Ireland

Employment Type: Remote

The Role in 20 Seconds

Travel across the UK and Ireland installing, maintaining, and upgrading cutting-edge medical equipment. Work from home between site visits. Be part of a small, supportive team making a real difference to patients' lives.

The Company

They have been supplying specialist medical equipment to UK hospitals for 20+ years. They represent major international OEMs. Not only installing and upgrading, but also training staff and solving problems on behalf of these OEMs nationally.

The company is small enough that you'll know everyone quickly, but big enough to work with 40+ hospitals nationwide.

What You'll Actually Do:

On the road (50-70% of your time):

• Install equipment in hospital departments – think ceiling-mounted systems, cameras, software, imaging and treatment devices
• Fix problems when systems go down (mostly planned, not often emergency call-outs)
• Carry out scheduled maintenance and upgrades
• Train hospital staff on new equipment

Working from home:

• Solve IT connectivity issues remotely via Teams
• Update documentation and service records
• Plan your schedule with the team
• Support customers over the phone

Who We're Looking For

You'll fit right in if you:

• Have hands-on engineering experience (medical devices, aerospace, industrial equipment – all good)
• Can confidently install medical equipment and troubleshoot hardware
• Know your way around basic IT (IP addresses, firewalls, network connectivity)
• Don't mind staying away from home occasionally (1-2 nights/week average)
• Like variety – no two days are the same
• Want to work for a company where everyone knows your name

Essential:

• Full UK driving licence
• Right to work in the UK
• Happy to travel (Southampton to Scotland and everything in between)

What's Actually In It For You?

The package:

• £40-49 depending on experience
• New electric company car (personal use included)
• Free home charger installation
• Annual bonus (actually paid every year)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

The benefits you won't see on paper:

• No corporate bureaucracy – need time off? Just ask
• Amazing work-life balance: it's a give-and-take, family atmosphere
• Work with some of the UK's top hospital departments
• Training in the UK and abroad (Germany & the Netherlands, just to mention a couple)
• Real progression opportunities in a small, well-established company
• Time in lieu when you work extra hours (not just empty promises)

The good:

• Most jobs are planned weeks in advance
• You'll know your schedule 1-2 weeks ahead
• Mix of fieldwork and working from home
• Genuine work-life balance for a field role
• Equipment is usually non-critical (not emergency situations)

The honest bit:

• Some overnight stays required (Ireland, Scotland, occasionally London)
• Some weeks there may be no travel. You never can tell!
• Sometimes you'll drive 3 hours to change an IP address
• You'll work with 15+ different product lines (training provided)
• Not all problems have obvious solutions

Apply Now

This isn't your typical corporate field engineer role. You'll have real autonomy, genuine responsibility, and the chance to make a difference in healthcare.
