The Role

As an Instrumentation Field Service Engineer, you’ll play a key role in keeping our operational sites running safely, efficiently, and reliably. You’ll be out in the field diagnosing faults, carrying out planned maintenance, and ensuring our instrumentation and control equipment performs exactly as it should.

You’ll work closely with process, operations and engineering teams to keep critical assets online and to support continuous improvement across our network. This is a hands‑on role where no two days look the same – perfect for someone who enjoys problem‑solving, autonomy, and working in varied environments.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Fault‑finding, repairing and calibrating instrumentation including flow, pressure, level and analytical equipment
  • Completing reactive and planned maintenance across the Crewe region
  • Supporting installations, upgrades and project teams with technical expertise
  • Providing high‑quality digital work records and documentation
  • Working safely and professionally across all sites

What We Are Looking For

  • Level 3 qualification (or equivalent experience) in Instrumentation, Electrical, Control or Mechatronics
  • Strong diagnostic and problem‑solving skills
  • Experience working with industrial/process instrumentation or similar
  • Ability to read technical drawings, manuals and P&IDs
  • Full UK driving licence
  • A proactive, independent working style

What Makes Being an FSE Great

Company Van (Fully Equipped + Take‑Home)

  • No commuting in your own vehicle
  • No mileage to claim back
  • Your van becomes your mobile workspace

Freedom & Flexibility

You manage your own day, your own sites, and your own schedule within the planned work – giving you autonomy and variety rarely found in site‑based roles.
