Are you a mechanically minded engineer who loves getting hands-on with complex kit, solving problems on the fly, and keeping high-performance machinery running at its best?
Here s your chance to join one of the print industry s most respected global machinery manufacturers a leader in advanced print & packaging technology as they strengthen their UK service team.
You ll be working on some of print s most sophisticated production and post-press systems, supporting major manufacturing sites across the UK (and occasionally overseas). If you want a role where your mechanical skill is genuinely valued and where you ll benefit from world-class training, high earning potential, and excellent benefits this is it.

• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical faults, mechanical assemblies, pneumatics, drives, and general machine performance issues.
• Carry out preventative maintenance and respond to breakdowns to minimise downtime.
• Travel across the UK with varied weekly work and exposure to a broad range of machinery (occasional overseas trips included).Why This Role Stands Out
Strong Earnings Up to GBP40k basic with realistic OTE around GBP60 70k (overtime paid door-to-door).
• Premium Company Car User chooser scheme; current engineers drive Mercedes A-Class, Audi A3, BMW 2-Series etc.
• Variety & Travel UK-wide work with the chance to travel internationally.
• 25 Days Holiday Bank Hols With average holiday pay so overtime isn t lost.
• Healthcare & Protection Medicash, life insurance, and private medical after 5 years.
• Long-Term Stability Outstanding pension scheme (employer contributions rise with service up to 2 your own after 10 years).
• Generous Overtime Rates Time & a half after 18:00 and Saturdays; double time Sundays & bank holidays; UK & overseas overnight allowances.
• Full Training Continuous development on world-leading machinery and a clear progression path within a global engineering team.What We re Looking For
A mechanically biased engineer with strong fault-finding ability and a hands-on mindset.
• Experience in field service, maintenance, fitting, installation, or heavy/complex machinery (print, packaging, FMCG, manufacturing or industrial environments welcome).
• Someone comfortable working independently on complex mechanical systems.
• Flexibility to travel UK-wide with time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
• Based in England, ideally near major motorway routes (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.).The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join a financially robust, globally recognised machinery manufacturer that truly invests in its engineers. If you re seeking technical challenge, variety, exceptional training, and strong long-term rewards, this could be the move that levels up your career.
