Field Engineer

Job Title:

DAS Field Engineer

Location:

Heathrow Airport

Salary:

Up to £42,000 Basic Salary

Benefits:

£3k On-Call, £5k Overtime Pay, Company Car

This is a permanent field engineering role dedicated at a major UK airport, with the remainder of time deployed on vehicle installation projects. The core of the role is cellular fault finding on PBE Axell systems within a live, high-security airside environment. This is a newly confirmed requirement with a start wanted ideally next month, and the client is looking to move quickly on the right profile. We will consider both junior and senior engineers in the wireless communications space.

What's in it for you?

• A genuinely varied role - core airport-based fault finding combined with vehicle installation work, rather than a single repetitive site routine
• Strong earning potential on top of base salary through on-call allowance and weekday/Sunday overtime rates
• Company car provided, covering both site travel and daily commuting
• Long-term security with a permanent subcontract arrangement and an ongoing on-call rota once established
• Site familiarisation visits available before committing, so you can see the environment first-hand

Responsibilities

• Cellular fault finding on PBE Axell systems (Distributed Antenna Systems)
• Documenting faults using client report templates and escalating internally to HAL contacts
• Vehicle installation work outside of the core airport commitment
• Participating in an on-call rota on a longer-term basis
• Working flexible hours between 7:00am and 5:30pm

Skills Required

• Proven cellular fault-finding experience
• Full UK driving licence
• 5 years of verifiable employment or education history (any gap over 28 days must be explainable) - required for airside pass clearance

Strong Differentiators

• PBE Axell equipment experience
• 5G experience
• Vehicle installation experience
• DMR/PMR radio experience
• RFID exposure

This is a rare permanent subcontract opportunity combining airport-based critical infrastructure work with genuine earning upside. If your background is in cellular fault finding and you're ready to move quickly, apply now.
