Field Service Engineer (Forklifts and Material Handling)–From £42,000 + Excellent Benefits – Doncaster & Surrounding Areas.

The Role

Are you an engineer who wants variety, independence and the satisfaction of seeing your skills make an immediate difference? Do you enjoy finishing a job knowing you have genuinely made someone’s day easier?  If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

As a Field Service Engineer (Forklifts & Material Handling), you are not stuck on the same site or repeating the same fix. You start your day from home, plan your work, and head out knowing each call-out relies on your expertise. When a customer’s operation is back up and running because of you, the impact is clear and rewarding.

This role gives you autonomy, trust and variety. You will cover Doncaster and surrounding areas, working Monday to Friday with occasional weekend overtime. Your diary is structured, but you have the freedom to manage your day in a way that works best.

One morning you might diagnose an electrical fault on an electric counterbalance. That afternoon, you could have a diesel truck back in service before a customer’s shift ends. Your work keeps businesses moving, and customers remember you for it.

If you want a role where your skills are noticed, your days are varied and your work truly matters, apply today to become our next Field Service Engineer (Forklifts & Material Handling).
