Are you looking to build a career in medical engineering? Do you have some hands-on experience with electrical or mechanical equipment and a willingness to learn?

An exciting opportunity is available for a Trainee Medical Field Service Engineer to join a growing healthcare engineering business, supporting hospitals and healthcare facilities across the UK.

Full product and technical training will be provided, making this an excellent opportunity for a junior engineer or technician looking to develop specialist skills and build a long-term career within the medical sector.

The Role

You'll be field based, installing, servicing, demonstrating and repairing specialist equipment used within hospital environments, including operating lights, pendants, operating tables and bedhead trunking systems.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Installing and commissioning medical equipment and associated systems.

• Carrying out routine servicing, maintenance and repairs.

• Supporting electrical and mechanical fault-finding.

• Demonstrating equipment to customers and explaining how it operates.

• Building strong relationships with hospital staff and other customers.

• Completing service reports and maintaining accurate records.

• Working alongside experienced engineers while developing your technical knowledge.

Location & Travel

The ideal candidate will be based in the North West, within easy reach of Manchester or Liverpool. The role involves regular travel between the North West and Scotland, particularly Glasgow and Stirlingshire, alongside wider UK travel, including occasional trips to London. Overnight stays are expected, typically around 5 nights per month.

A flexible approach to travel and staying away from home is essential.

Hours

• Monday-Friday, 39 hours per week including travel.

• Overtime paid at time and a half.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an enthusiastic, practical individual who wants to learn, develop and progress within a growing business.

• The ability to demonstrate equipment and explain technical information clearly.

• A positive attitude, strong work ethic and willingness to learn.

• A genuine interest in building a long-term engineering career.

• GCSEs or equivalent qualifications.

• A full UK driving licence.

Previous experience in field service, maintenance, installations or customer-facing technical support would be advantageous. Experience working in a hospital or healthcare environment would also be beneficial.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £30,000-£33,000, depending on experience.

• Company van and fuel card.
