Mechanical Bias Litho Print Field Service Engineer

£40,000 basic (OTE £62k) Company Car Overtime Paid Door-to-Door UK Travel with Some Overseas Work

Are you a mechanically skilled engineer who thrives on variety, challenge, and solving complex machinery problems? This is your chance to join one of the UK’s most respected machinery manufacturers — a global name in advanced print & packaging technology — as they expand their UK service team.

You’ll work on some of the industry’s most technically advanced print production systems, supporting high-profile manufacturing sites across the UK and occasionally overseas. If you want a role where your mechanical expertise is genuinely valued, and you’ll be rewarded with first-class training, earning potential, and benefits — read on.

What You’ll Do

Install, service, maintain and repair cutting-edge print production machinery at customer sites.
Diagnose and resolve complex mechanical, hydraulic, and precision engineering issues.
Support customers with breakdowns and preventative maintenance to keep production running smoothly.
Travel across the UK (with occasional overseas trips) — no fixed territory, meaning varied work and exposure to a wide range of equipment. 

Why This Role Stands Out

Attractive Earnings – £40k starting salary with realistic OTE of £62k (overtime is plentiful and paid door-to-door).
Premium Company Car – “User chooser” scheme; current engineers drive vehicles such as Mercedes A250e AMG Line, Audi A3, BMW 225e Sport Active Tourer.
Travel Variety – UK-wide with occasional international trips — every week is different.
25 Days Holiday Bank Holidays – Plus average holiday pay so you don’t lose out when taking time off.
Healthcare & Protection – Medicash cash plan, life insurance, and private medical insurance after 5 years’ service.
Long-Term Security – Industry-leading pension scheme (employer contributions increase with length of service — up to 2x your contribution after 10 years).
Overtime Rates – Time & a half after 18:00 and on Saturdays, double time Sundays & bank holidays. Overnight allowances paid (UK & overseas).
Structured Development – Ongoing training on world-class machinery and opportunities to progress within a global engineering team. 

What We’re Looking For

Mechanically biased engineer (ideally with some electrical knowledge or multi-skilled ability).
Experience in field service, maintenance, or installation (Ideally production print other similar FMCG industry, manufacturing, or industrial machinery backgrounds welcome).
Confident working independently, solving complex mechanical or precision assembly issues.
Comfortable with frequent UK travel and time away from home (approx. 100 nights per year).
Based in England, ideally near good motorway links (M1, M6, M40, M4 etc.). 

The Opportunity

This is an excellent chance to join a financially strong, globally recognised machinery manufacturer that genuinely invests in its engineers. If you’re looking for technical challenge, variety, and excellent earning potential with a company that rewards loyalty and expertise, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
