Field Maintenance Technician – CNC Machine Tools

Field Maintenance Technician – CNC Machine Tools

£26,000–£30,000 + Guaranteed Bonus | Permanent

A leading CNC machine tool manufacturer is looking for a Field Maintenance Technician to cover the West Midlands. This role has come available due to internal promotion and offers a genuine route into CNC service engineering for someone with solid mechanical aptitude who’s ready to develop their skills. Full training on CNC machinery will be provided – no prior machine tool experience necessary.

What you’ll be doing:

• Carrying out servicing, maintenance, and fault-finding on CNC equipment at customer sites
• Diagnosing and resolving technical issues while delivering a high standard of customer service
• Managing your own schedule across the region, travelling to client locations independently
• Maintaining tools, equipment, and company vehicle to professional standards

What you need:

• Solid mechanical maintenance experience (workshop, production maintenance, or similar)
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
• Quick learner who can pick up new technical skills rapidly
• Self-sufficient and proactive approach to work
• Full UK driving licence
• Comfortable with regular travel and working independently
• CNC machine tool experience is beneficial but not essential – the right mechanical foundation and attitude matters more than specific machine knowledge.

What’s on offer:

• £26,000–£30,000 depending on experience
• Guaranteed bonus: £6,000–£8,500
• BMW 330e company car
• Full tool kit provided
• Comprehensive training on CNC systems
• Clear progression opportunities – this role is available because the previous postholder was promoted internally

This is a permanent field-based position with genuine scope for career development. If you’ve got the mechanical background and the drive to learn, the progression is there.
