Ex-Mil Recruitment is currently recruiting for an experienced Field Service Engineer to join an established and highly respected UK engineering organisation specialising in advanced radar, maritime navigation and surveillance technology.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.

Our client designs, develops and supports sophisticated electronic systems used across naval vessels, commercial shipping and shore-based installations worldwide.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with a strong background in electronics, radar, communications or maritime systems who enjoys a combination of hands-on technical engineering, problem-solving and international travel.

The position would particularly suit an individual transitioning from the Armed Forces or an experienced military veteran who has previously worked with complex electronic equipment, radar systems, communications technology or naval engineering systems.

The role is based in North London, with a hybrid working arrangement of three days on-site and two days working remotely when operational commitments permit.

Key Responsibilities

Working within an established Customer Services and Technical Support team, you will be responsible for providing engineering support to customers operating sophisticated radar and maritime electronic systems.

Your responsibilities will include

  • Installing, commissioning, maintaining and troubleshooting radar, navigation and electronic surveillance equipment.
  • Conducting technical service visits aboard naval vessels, commercial ships and at shore-based installations.
  • Undertaking system testing, fault diagnosis and acceptance testing to ensure equipment meets operational requirements.
  • Providing technical support and advice to customers in the UK and internationally.
  • Supporting the technical helpdesk when not undertaking field assignments, including responding to customer enquiries and producing technical guidance.
  • Preparing accurate service reports, technical documentation and associated records.
  • Working towards delivering technical training to customers and equipment operators.
  • Identifying recurring technical problems and communicating findings to engineering and management teams.
  • Ensuring all work is undertaken in accordance with relevant health and safety procedures and engineering standards.
  • Participating in additional technical training and professional development as required.

We are looking for a practical, self-motivated engineer with a strong technical foundation and the confidence to work independently in demanding operational environments.
