Company Description

We're a fast-growing, well-backed sci-tech company headquartered at Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire, UK, with significant (and growing) sales in the US – the Midwest in particular. We're ISO 9001 certified, and our customers include fuel ethanol producers, chemical manufacturers (bulk, specialty & fine), pulp & paper mills, fats & oils processors, biofuels producers and more.

We remain a small, agile team with big ambitions. There is little red tape: everyone talks to customers, everyone contributes beyond their job title, and you will have a genuine hand in shaping how we build our US operation.

This is a hands-on, plant-facing role focused on making sure our installations go smoothly, our customers are supported on site, and plants get real value from the IRmadillo in day-to-day operations. You'll take some of the install and support load off our senior team, allowing us to support more customers, more effectively.

A significant part of your week will be spent driving between plants, with rental cars and expenses fully covered. If you'd rather spend your time on the road than on another night shift, this role offers exactly that.

Examples of the type of teamwork you may be involved in:

• Installing and commissioning IRmadillo systems at customer sites
• Basic troubleshooting, routine maintenance and first-line repairs
• On-site support for operators, lab teams and plant managers
• Helping customers understand and use IRmadillo data in their daily operations
• Adding technical credibility on site visits with our sales team
• Following work instructions and documenting what you do – traceability matters to us
• Helping with logistics, equipment handling and inventory as we build our US base

There is genuine scope for progression. Our Field Instrument Specialists could step up into a Customer Solutions Engineer role, or help set up and lead our future US operational base as the team expands.

If you have hands-on ethanol plant experience and want a role with variety, full training and genuine room to grow, apply today. We're reviewing applications now, and our talent partner RR will be in touch quickly to talk you through the next steps.
