We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Field Engineer to join our TSIC account. The Field Engineer plays an important part to undertake reactive and planned maintenance, installation, and commissioning works on highways control technology installations throughout Scotland. This includes CCTV, Traffic Monitoring Units, Variable Message Signs, Emergency Telephones and other installation and outstation electronic and communications equipment, mainly motorway based.

The standard hours of work are 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday. Our TSIC account is working in partnership with Traffic Scotland on behalf of Transport for Scotland since 2004. We are responsible for operating, maintaining, and upgrading the motorway and trunk road technology infrastructure across the whole of Scotland. With over 12,000 intelligent transport system (ITS) assets across Scotland our teams operate and maintain variable messaging signs, CCTV, emergency roadside telephones (ERTs) and various power and communication cabinets. In addition to this, we manage and maintain hundreds of miles of the motorway and trunk road network across Scotland, as well as providing key consultancy services such as asset management, design services and environmental management. Our focus is on delivering reliable journey times and a high level of customer care for the people and businesses that use these roads every day.

The Field Engineer will be responsible for:

• Installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical, control and communications installations in accordance with current Regulations and Manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Response to urgent or emergency failures.
• Initial verification and periodic electrical testing and inspection to BS7671 of electrical installations, and issue of corresponding certification.
