Field Service Manager

🚨 Head of Field Services | Smart Metering | £55,000–£65,000 + Bonus + Car Allowance 🚨

Build a field operation. Shape the culture. Lead the future.

I'm exclusively supporting a high-growth UK energy business with the appointment of a Head of Field Services—a brand-new leadership role offering the opportunity to build and scale a Smart Metering operation from the ground up.

This is far more than a field management role. You'll be instrumental in creating the engineering function, developing operational processes, recruiting and leading engineers, and establishing a high-performing, safety-first culture that will underpin the next phase of the company's growth.

What you'll be doing:

'05; Building and leading a team of Dual Fuel Engineers.

'05; Developing operational processes, compliance standards and best practice.

'05; Driving performance, quality and customer excellence.

'05; Coaching and developing field teams.

'05; Working closely with senior leadership to scale a growing field services division.

We're keen to speak with leaders who have:

'14; Experience leading field engineering teams within Smart Metering, Utilities or Field Services.

'14; A proven track record of improving operational performance and developing people.

'14; Strong knowledge of safety, compliance and engineering operations.

'14; The ability to build teams, influence stakeholders and implement change.

Technical gas qualifications are advantageous but not essential. We're looking for an experienced operational leader with the capability to build high-performing engineering teams and drive operational excellence.

📍 Location: Initial onboarding at clients Oxfordshire office, with expectation to be at this site during initial embedding into the role. Following which regular travel across Birmingham, Manchester and London. Midlands-based candidates are particularly welcomed due to the geographical coverage of the role.

🏡 Predominantly field-based, with approximately two office visits per month once established.

💰 Package:

• £55,000–£60,000 + basic salary

• Annual bonus scheme

• Car allowance

• The opportunity to build and shape a brand-new field services function within a rapidly growing energy business

If you're looking for a role where you'll have the autonomy to influence strategy, build a team from the ground up and make a lasting impact, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
