£45,000 - £47,000 DOE + Company Van & Fuel
Monday - Friday, 7:30am - 4:30pm
We are recruiting a Service Engineer to cover customers across the Kettering, Leicester and Newark region, working for a manufacturer and supplier of industrial packaging machinery.
This is a home-based field role, travelling directly to customer sites to install, service, repair and commission machinery. You'll have a scheduled workload and will only need to travel to the company's head office periodically to collect parts, restock the van or when otherwise required.
