About the Company
Our client is a leading full-service distributor specialising in machinery and trucks across the construction, material handling, recycling and transport sectors. They are well established internationally, with operations across the UK, Europe, Africa and the US, and are recognised for providing high-quality machinery, aftermarket support and technical service to customers across a range of specialist industries.
About the Role
This is a home-based Field Service Engineer position, covering mainly the South East / East Anglia / South of the UK, with a link into the Duxford depot for parts, support and occasional depot-based activity. The role will focus predominantly on the service, repair and diagnostics of Dynapac road construction equipment, with a particular emphasis on pavers, as well as compactors, asphalt equipment and associated road machinery. You will be working as part of a small, specialist team, so the business is looking for someone technically strong, reliable, customer-facing and comfortable working independently in the field.

- Use laptop / tablet-based diagnostic systems and complete electronic reports in real time.
- Liaise professionally with customers, internal teams and service management.
- Identify additional work or aftermarket opportunities where appropriate.
- Order and manage parts required for repairs and ensure work is completed efficiently.
- Work in line with quotations, time guides and customer expectations.

Why This Role?
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced engineer who wants to join a respected machinery business and become part of a specialist road equipment team. The role would particularly suit someone with experience on pavers or road construction equipment, but the business is also open to strong heavy plant / OEM dealer engineers who have the right technical capability and attitude. You will be given autonomy, specialist training, a high-quality van and tools, and the chance to work on recognised road machinery products across an established customer base.
