Service Engineer - Electronic Monitoring Systems

Basic salary £28,000 + bonus + company van + benefits

Location - Midlands


We're looking for a Site Service Engineer to install, service and calibrate temperature and environmental monitoring systems on customer sites across the country. You don't need to have worked with the equipment before as training is provided but you need a solid background with electronic equipment such as fire alarms, BMS, communications equipment etc. It's home based but with quite a lot of travel and a need to stay away from home 2-3 nights a week. Great opportunity for someone looking for a new challenge in a niche industry.

The Role:

  • In this role you'll carry out installation, commissioning, testing and calibration of equipment used to monitor temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO2 levels. It's used by healthcare and life sciences organisations like blood banks, NHS laboratories and research facilities.
  • You'll also carry out routine service, emergency service and product updates as required under warranty or subsequent maintenance agreements including diagnosing and fault finding breakdowns.
  • Undertake annual calibration, alarm limit testing, temperature sensor validation and active sensor calibration and/or replacement
  • You'll be feeding back customer comments (positive or negative), requests, observations and additional functionality requests
  • Act as project manager on specific projects and carry out site surveys and preparing quotations for extensions to existing systems or new systems. Where appropriate, recommend suitable equipment to meet customers' requirements and estimate material and labour costs
  • On average you'll be away from home up to 2-3 nights per week but this is quite variable.
  • This is home based with quarterly meetings at head office.


The Person:

  • We're looking for someone with experience as a site or service engineer who is used to installations as well as repairs. It's electronic solutions so you'll have at least some understanding of this. The role could suit someone working with either fire systems, alarms, BMS systems, possibly a Sky engineer or similar.
  • You'll live in the Midlands area from Stoke on Trent and Derby down to Cheltenham in the west and Oxfordshire heading more east.
  • Good customer communication skills are essential and you'll have good working knowledge of Microsoft applications.

The Package:

  • A basic salary of £28,000 is offered
  • Company vehicle is provided which can be used for personal use if you choose to.
  • Overtime is paid including travel time to and from site
  • There is an annual bonus available
  • An 8% on call bonus is available although you wouldn't join the on call register for some time.
  • 25 days holiday increasing by 1 day per year.
  • Private healthcare and Medicash scheme
  • Electric car and cycle scheme
  • Fuel card and hotel card
  • Generous meals allowance when working away
  • Additional benefits
