If you're a chemist, laboratory technician or laboratory analyst who knows your way around a GC, GC-MS or HPLC and you fancy a change of scene, this Field Service Engineer role could be it.
One day you're installing a new instrument, the next you're diagnosing a tricky fault or talking a customer through best practice. You'll see different sites, different labs and different problems - not the same four walls.
There's plenty of support from the in-house service team when you need it, but you won't be micromanaged.
Company car sorted: You get a company car (usually a hybrid) or a car allowance if you've already got finance on a vehicle. All your business mileage, fuel and hotels are paid for - so the travel costs you nothing.
Be honest with yourself about the travel: This role is around 80-90% out on the road, with overnight stays away from home most weeks. Location: Home-based with UK-wide travel.
What you'll do as the Field Service Engineer:
- Install, maintain and repair analytical instrumentation at customer sites, working hands-on with hardware, software and applications.
- Diagnose and resolve faults using a logical approach, with remote support from colleagues when you need it.
- Write up clear service reports in the company CRM after each visit and manage your own spare-parts inventory.
- Spot opportunities to help customers with additional instruments, consumables or training, and flag them to the team.
- Able and genuinely willing to travel and stay away from home for most of the working week, with a valid full UK driving licence.
