Our client, a global leader in industrial equipment manufacturing, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Field Service Engineer to provide expert remote technical support.

You will be the go-to expert for intricate technical issues, leveraging your deep knowledge of our product lines to ensure optimal performance and client satisfaction. This is a remote-first position, demanding strong communication and diagnostic abilities.

Responsibilities:
  • Provide advanced remote technical assistance for installation, commissioning, and repair of industrial machinery.
  • Diagnose complex equipment malfunctions through detailed technical questioning and analysis of data logs.
  • Develop and deliver clear, concise remote training sessions for customer technical staff and internal field teams.
