  • Installing new equipment and providing customer training
  • Acting as a technical expert for the company’s partner manufacturers
  • Travelling across multiple states to support key FMCG clients

Training & Onboarding

  • Full training delivered in the UK with established machinery partners
  • Exposure to a wide range of food production equipment
  • Relocation to the US once training is complete (timeline flexible based on candidate)

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in electrical or mechanical engineering (FMCG, food production, automation, or industrial machinery preferred)
  • Field service experience or multiskilled maintenance engineering
  • Confident fault-finding skills
  • Willingness and enthusiasm for full relocation to the USA
  • Full UK driving licence and ability to travel frequently once in the US

Relocation Package

  • Full visa sponsorship (all application costs covered)
  • Relocation support
