As a Field Service Engineer working for the company, your role will be to support clients throughout your territory by delivering planned preventive maintenance and breakdown repair to a range of terminal tractors and container lifting vehicles. a large amount of maintenance you will undertake on these vehicles will be geared towards their engines.  You will also have the opportunity to train on forklifts and cargo handling machinery over time and become a fully fledged Field Service Engineer for the business, should you wish to. 

Based from home you will receive a work schedule each week and will travel across your territory, working on full service project life cycles and offering clients the highest level of service. The majority of your work (apx 90%) will allow you to return home each day, however their will also be occasions when you may see more than one client in one area so could be away overnight once or twice a month at the most.
