The position
About the role
British Institute of Lasers supplies and supports laser and IPL systems used by clinics across the UK and overseas. The service team brings together experienced engineers and knowledgeable support colleagues who help clients from installation through to ongoing maintenance.
We are looking for a Field Service Technician who enjoys hands-on technical work, regular travel and direct contact with clients. Some visits will involve planned servicing and performance checks. Others will require careful fault finding, practical repairs and a clear explanation of the work completed.
The role suits someone who is calm under pressure, comfortable working independently and willing to take proper ownership of a technical problem. You will also remain closely connected with the wider team, sharing service notes, reporting recurring issues and helping maintain a consistent standard of support.

Working in the field
Varied days and practical problems
Client visits will take you to different clinics and locations around the country. You will need to organise your time carefully, work confidently without close supervision and adapt when the issue on site differs from the original report.
Good technical judgement matters. So does the way you speak to people. Clients should finish each visit understanding what happened, what work was completed and whether any further action is required.
