There’s a difference between working as a UPS field engineer for a third-party contractor and doing it as the manufacturer’s own representative on site. If you’ve spent time on the contractor side, you’ll know what that difference looks like – and how clients treat you accordingly.
This role is field-based, covering the South East, for a global manufacturer operating across more than 160 countries. Basic salary is £65,000 to £75,000 depending on experience. On top of that: an annual bonus of around £10,000, £650 per month car allowance, private healthcare and an enhanced pension.
What you’ll be doing as a UPS field engineer
You’ll commission UPS and critical power systems on customer sites – data centres, telecoms infrastructure, industrial environments. Between commissions, you’re providing technical support through installation and post-deployment phases, troubleshooting with customers and internal teams, and representing the business in the field.
The work is varied. One week you’ll be overseeing a handover, the next working through a configuration issue with a customer’s technical team. You’ll operate autonomously – no one standing over your shoulder, and the expectation is that you’ll manage your own workload.
There’s occasional European travel involved. Not a weekly occurrence, but enough that you’ll need to be comfortable with it when it comes up.
What you’ll need
Solid hands-on experience with three-phase UPS systems – ideally in the 10 to 500 kVA range. A commissioning, field support, or application engineering background is what we’re looking for, along with a sound understanding of data centre power infrastructure and electrical standards. Full UK driving licence required, and willingness to travel across Europe when needed.
What you’ll get
- Basic salary £65,000 to £75,000 depending on experience
- Annual bonus of approximately £10,000
- £650 per month car allowance
- Private healthcare
- Enhanced employer pension contribution
- Field-based role – South East England as your primary patch
Who you’ll be working for
