Field Engineer

About the role
Our client is a well-established, highly regarded IT Managed Services provider serving organisations from multinationals to public sector bodies and smaller businesses. They need a Field Engineer for their Northern Ireland team.
This is a field role, not a desk job. You will be on the road daily across Northern Ireland sites, installing and maintaining PCs, printers, scanners, EPOS and network equipment, plus managing stock rotation of faulty spares. A genuine get up and go attitude and comfort with daily driving matters just as much as the technical skill set, if not more.
What we're looking for
The ideal candidate is a highly motivated self-starter with a strong desire to achieve. You will present professionally, have very good interpersonal skills, and bring a strong customer focus to every visit. Because this is a customer-driven business, flexibility is essential. You need to be able to react quickly when called upon, and travel is a core part of that.
