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.

Key Responsibilities

• Service, maintain, diagnose and repair road construction equipment in the field.
• Work predominantly on Dynapac road machinery, including pavers, compactors and material feeders.
• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, diesel engine, driveline and transmission faults.
• 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.
• Attend product and systems training as required.
• Support wider customers across the South and occasionally further afield when needed.

Key Requirements

• Proven experience as a Field Service Engineer, Mobile Plant Engineer, Plant Fitter, HGV Engineer, Agricultural Engineer or similar.
• Strong background working on heavy plant, construction equipment, road machinery, HGVs or agricultural machinery.
• Good technical knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, electrics, transmissions and driveline systems.
• Confident with diagnostics, fault finding and troubleshooting.
• Ideally experienced with road construction equipment, particularly pavers.
• Experience with Dynapac, BOMAG, Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, Volvo, JCB, CAT, Komatsu or similar manufacturers would be highly relevant.
• Formal engineering qualification such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent would be strongly preferred.
• Comfortable working independently in a field-based role.
• Strong communication skills and a professional customer-facing approach.
• Flexible around travel and occasional overnight stays when required.
• Full UK driving licence.

Package

• Competitive basic salary, dependent on experience.
• Door-to-door travel.
• Company van.
• Enhanced family leave.
• Salary sacrifice car leasing scheme.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Ongoing manufacturer and product training.

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.
