Field Engineer

Field Engineer - Hertfordshire

I am currently looking to recruit a Field Engineer to join my client based in Hertfordshire.

Due to my client’s recent growth and success, they are looking to expand their Automation Engineering team with a Field Engineer.

This person will also have exposure to and support the Technical Design & Integration, Manufacturing & Supply Chain and Implementation teams during the design, manufacture and installation phases.

While the role is technically based at the Head Office in Hatfield, around 80% of the Field Engineer's time will be spent working across our sites in the UK, Europe and (initially) North America. Ability and flexibility to travel will therefore be crucial.
