Job Introduction

Are you an experienced biomedical or medical engineering professional looking for a senior role where your technical expertise directly supports patient care? At MTS Health Ltd, a Sodexo company, we're seeking a skilled Senior Field Service Engineer to join our team, supporting healthcare facilities across the Nottingham contract.

Based at the MTS workshop at Duncan Macmillan House and travelling to designated Trust locations, you'll play a vital role in ensuring critical medical equipment remains safe, compliant and fully operational. From planned preventative maintenance and electrical safety testing to fault diagnosis and authorised repairs, you'll use your technical expertise to maintain a broad range of medical devices, including anaesthesia workstations and medical ventilators, within your proven competence and manufacturer authorisations.

As a senior member of the team, you'll also provide technical guidance and support to colleagues, helping maintain high standards of service delivery and patient safety. You will deputise for agreed day-to-day Team Leader responsibilities when required, while ensuring maintenance activities, eQuip records and technical decisions meet MTS, manufacturer and regulatory requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically confident, customer-focused engineer who enjoys working independently, managing a varied workload and building strong relationships with clinical teams. In return, you'll receive a competitive salary of up to £47,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus a car allowance, ongoing professional development and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a respected healthcare engineering service.

Join us and help ensure the equipment healthcare professionals rely on every day is safe, reliable and ready when patients need it most.

What You'll Do:

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM), inspections, calibration, functional testing and electrical safety testing on a wide range of medical equipment, in line with manufacturer requirements and personal competency authorisations.
• Diagnose faults and undertake authorised repairs within agreed technical competence, contract scope and approval limits, ensuring equipment is fully tested and verified as safe before returning to clinical use.
• Undertake specialist servicing, fault diagnosis and performance verification of anaesthesia workstations and medical ventilators, within documented training, competency and manufacturer authorisations.
• Identify unsafe, damaged or unserviceable equipment, remove it from use where necessary and escalate recommendations for repair, replacement or condemnation.
• Maintain accurate and timely eQuip asset management records, including maintenance activities, test results, equipment condition, parts used and follow-up requirements.
• Support the effective delivery of the maintenance programme across multiple healthcare sites, coordinating workload, priorities, travel and follow-up visits to meet contract requirements.
• Provide senior technical guidance, advice and support to engineers and technical assistants, helping maintain high standards of technical quality, safety and service delivery.
• Deputise for agreed day-to-day Team Leader responsibilities when requested, supporting work allocation, engineer coordination, PPM performance monitoring and operational communication.
• Work collaboratively with Service Coordinators, Regional Team Leaders, Service Managers, Trust contacts, clinical staff, OEMs and approved suppliers to resolve equipment issues and minimise downtime.
• Ensure compliance with manufacturer instructions, MTS procedures, regulatory requirements, quality management standards and patient safety requirements.
• Support continuous improvement through technical training, competency assessments, audits and quality reviews, while maintaining company tools, vehicles and calibrated test equipment.

What You Bring:

• Essential
  • At least five years' relevant experience maintaining and repairing medical equipment, supported by a relevant engineering qualification or equivalent demonstrable technical experience.
  • Proven hands-on competence in maintaining, fault-finding, repairing and safety testing a broad range of medical devices, including anaesthesia workstations and medical ventilators.
  • Strong technical knowledge of planned preventative maintenance, calibration, functional testing, electrical safety testing and manufacturer requirements.
  • Experience working within healthcare engineering standards, quality management systems and regulatory requirements, with a strong understanding of patient safety.
  • Experience maintaining accurate technical records using a CMMS or asset management system, with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a varied workload across multiple sites.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with clinical teams, colleagues, suppliers and external service providers.
  • Experience providing technical guidance, supporting colleagues, handling technical escalations and ideally deputising for or supporting Team Leader responsibilities.
  • Full UK driving licence (or eligibility to obtain one within the permitted DVLA period), a proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to ongoing professional development.
• Desirable
  • Experience maintaining a wider range of medical equipment, including patient monitoring, defibrillators, infusion devices, electrosurgery and theatre equipment.
  • Previous experience working within an NHS, independent healthcare or other regulated medical engineering environment.
  • OEM training or manufacturer authorisation for anaesthesia or ventilator equipment, including GE HealthCare, Dräger, Penlon or equivalent.
  • Experience coordinating workloads, allocating work, monitoring PPM performance and supporting operational service delivery.
  • Previous experience acting as a Team Leader or deputising for a Team Leader, including KPI monitoring and liaison with NHS Trust contacts.
  • Experience supporting equipment condition assessments, acceptance testing, condemnation, asset register improvements and equipment replacement planning.
  • Experience mentoring, coaching or supporting the development of less-experienced engineers and technical assistants.
