Job description

Mechatronics Field Engineer – Automation / Construction

Bristol / Cardiff | UK Travel

£50,000–£55,000 + £6,000 Car Allowance (Package circa £60K)

I’m partnering with a high-growth engineering technology company that’s genuinely ahead of the competition in construction automation. They’re scaling fast across new markets and building a strong UK field team to support increasing demand for their advanced automated systems.

If you enjoy being hands-on, site-based, and working with cutting-edge machinery rather than sitting behind a desk — this one’s for you.

The Role

You’ll be a key technical presence on customer sites, making sure specialist automated and robotic equipment is installed, commissioned, and running reliably in live construction and industrial environments.

Day to day, you’ll be:

• Carrying out inspections, diagnostics, servicing, and mechanical repairs on automated machinery

• Supporting system installation, setup, commissioning, and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

• Providing on-site technical support and operator guidance

• Troubleshooting mechanical and electro-mechanical faults in real-world site conditions

• Feeding back site experience and improvement ideas to internal engineering and product teams

• Keeping accurate service records and technical documentation

This is a field-based role with regular travel across the Bristol area and wider UK.

Why This Company?

This isn’t just another service engineer job.

You’ll be joining a proper scale-up business that is:

✔ Rapidly expanding into new sectors and territories

✔ Investing heavily in its technology and people

✔ Known for being well ahead of competitors in its niche

You’ll receive structured training and induction, including opportunities for overseas trips as part of product and systems training. All travel and expenses are covered. It’s a chance to get exposure to genuinely advanced automation tech that most engineers don’t get near.

About You

This role suits a mechanically biased engineer who’s confident in the field and enjoys solving problems on-site.

You’ll likely have:

✔ Experience as a Field Service Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, or Automation/Plant Engineer

✔ A background working with machinery, automation systems, construction plant, robotics, or similar specialist equipment

✔ Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills across mechanical and electro-mechanical systems

✔ The ability to work independently and represent the business professionally on-site

✔ Confidence communicating with both technical and non-technical people

✔ A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for site work

What’s On Offer

• £50,000–£55,000 salary

• £6,000 car allowance

• All travel and expenses paid

• Structured induction and technical training, including overseas exposure

• A varied, hands-on role with cutting-edge automation tech

• The chance to join a fast-scaling business at a genuinely exciting growth stage
