About The Role
As a Service Engineer you will work from a home office and spend 80% of your time covering the UK & Ireland (with around 2-3 nights per week away from home). Some weeks may require less travel but more time at my clients service center in the Northwest to complete instrument diagnostics and repair.
Due to the complex nature of the equipment and the potential travel time, you will typically attend 2-3 customer sites per week. Any travel is conducted Mon-Fri and therefore doesn’t encroach onto the weekends.
Other responsibilities include:
- Operating from a home office and visiting customers to complete new equipment installations, commissioning and user training. Some of the most advanced equipment can take up to 1 week to complete an installation.
- Visiting major industry and academia clients (50% universities / R&D).
- Liaising with customers directly to schedule the service visit.
- Decommissioning equipment for site relocations.
- Conducting routine service and calibration work, alongside more reactive maintenance, including fault finding and problem resolution.
- Working on equipment including both hardware and software ranging from £200K to £3.5m in value.
- Completing service visit reports.
- Handling service tickets, gaining the equipment log file and using TeamViewer where possible to gain remote access to their equipment.
- On the rare occasion you aren’t able to resolve the issue on customer site, you will organise for the equipment to be sent to my clients’ Northern service centre and attend to do further investigation.
About You
The successful candidate must possess some hands-on experience as a technician or service engineer working on SEM (scanning electron microscope) or TEM (transmission electron microscope) systems.
It is essential you have a logical and methodical approach and are comfortable spending up to 60% of your working week away from home.
A UK driving license is essential, as is the right to work in the UK. My client doesn’t offer sponsorship.
