Field Engineering Manager

Employment Type: Permanent

Salary: Up to £60,000 + package

Start Date: Immediate

Industry: IT Services & Consulting

We’re hiring a Field Engineering Manager to build and lead a growing field engineering function supporting complex CCTV, networking, access control and security infrastructure projects across the UK.

This is not a maintenance scheduling role. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a function that needs structure, governance, accountability and leadership.

You’ll lead field engineers and subcontractors working across highly regulated environments including policing, energy and Critical National Infrastructure. The work is technically demanding, operationally sensitive and quality expectations are high.

The business already has capable engineers and strong customer relationships. What’s needed now is someone who can professionalise the operation - improving standards, tightening H&S governance, building scalable processes and creating a field engineering function that can grow properly.

Field Engineering Manager – Key Responsibilities

• Leading and developing field engineers and subcontractors across the UK
• Improving H&S culture, RAMS, risk assessments, toolbox talks, and compliance standards
• Managing engineer utilisation, planning, and subcontractor strategy
• Building quality assurance standards and improving delivery consistency
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and performance management
• Working closely with PMO, service desk, and senior leadership
• Managing operational costs and helping shape the future structure of the function

Field Engineering Manager – Key Skills Required

• Experience managing field engineering teams within CCTV, security, networking, telecoms, or infrastructure environments
• Strong understanding of H&S governance and field operations compliance
• Experience managing subcontractors and geographically dispersed engineers
• Commercial awareness around labour utilisation, delivery costs, and project performance
• Direct leadership style with the ability to drive standards and accountability
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, growing businesses

Ideal Background:

• CCTV / physical security infrastructure
• Access control
• Structured cabling / networking
• Critical infrastructure or regulated environments
• Police, utilities, transport, energy, or secure government-related environments

Other Requirements:

• Full UK driving licence
• Eligible for SC / NPPV clearance
• Willingness to travel nationally with occasional overnight stays
