You will also deliver installation and deployment projects, ensuring systems are configured, tested, and integrated into live environments.

- Supporting project work independently or within a team
- Coaching and mentoring other engineers
- Working closely with planning and project teams
What we are looking for
- Experience as a field-based EPoS or IT Engineer
- Knowledge of hardware, peripherals, and IP networking
- Experience in installations and break-fix environments
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
- Clear communication skills
- A proactive and adaptable approach with strong organisational skills
What you can expect
- A varied role with ownership and autonomy
- Opportunities to develop skills across new technologies
- A step up into a more senior, solutions-focused role
- Ongoing training and exposure to new systems
- A supportive environment where your expertise is valued
Things to know
This is a field-based role with extensive travel
Out of hours work, overnight stays, and night work may be required
A full UK driving licence is essential
If you are an experienced field engineer looking to broaden your skillset, take on more technical responsibility, and play a key role in both support and deployment, we would love to hear from you.
