Field Service Engineer (Middlesbrough / Newcastle)

At SWARCO Smart Mobility Solutions / EVOLT Charging Ltd, we’re helping to shape the future of electric vehicle charging. As our network continues to grow, we’re looking for a Field Service Engineer to join our expanding team and help keep charging infrastructure operating safely, reliably and efficiently.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys fault finding, working with tools and solving technical problems. You’ll provide on-site and remote support to customers, helping to diagnose issues, carry out repairs and maintain charging equipment to a high standard.

What you will do:

• Carry out daily servicing and maintenance of customer EV charging stations.
• Diagnose and resolve electrical, hardware, software and network-related faults.
• Complete repairs, including the replacement of faulty parts and components.
• Support installation, commissioning, preventative maintenance, upgrades and warranty activities.
• Provide remote technical assistance to customers and field teams when required.
• Maintain accurate service records, daily worksheets and company vehicle mileage.
• Manage and replenish spare parts stock, ensuring equipment and materials are available when needed.
• Work collaboratively with technical, engineering and customer service teams to deliver excellent customer service.
• Support service and maintenance contracts, helping to meet agreed response times and service levels.
• Ensure all work is carried out safely and in line with company procedures and relevant electrical and EV charging standards.
• Participate in an on-call rota, approximately 1 week in 5, Monday to Monday, as required.

Essential:

• At least 2 years’ experience in a technical support or field service engineering role.
