- 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)
