Job Description

Business Context



The Field Service Engineering (FSE) apprenticeship scheme is strategically vital to the future success of our Customer Service & Equipment sales business in many ways. Most notably, it is extremely challenging to recruit individuals with the correct skillsets and work ethics from outside of the business, therefore by developing our own talent from within, we can produce a funnel of experienced and competent individuals with the correct attitude who can progress into field based technical roles as natural attrition takes place.



Your responsibilities



You will work with engineers to carry out corrective and preventative maintenance on healthcare diagnostic equipment and systems. You will also ensure our customers’ future equipment investments are with Philips, through the delivery of best in class service levels. By doing this, you will be supporting our customers to improve the lives of 3 billion people by 2025 as well as developing your own skills to become a future leader in Healthcare.



You are a part of



A multi-modality team of Medical engineers working within the Imaging System sector. As a FSE Apprentice, your role underpins our technical future, you will be assisting Engineers, learning in real life situations and gaining life skills which will develop you towards a future in medical engineering. The team is close knit and thrives via a “First time Right” mentality and you will be a key member being in the unique position of working across multi-modalities and therefore being able to establish your value across the entire team.



In return, we offer you




  • The experience of working with and learning from a highly disciplined medical engineering team.

  • The opportunity to gain a recognized qualification in engineering

  • The opportunity to personally develop your skills and knowledge through assisted field exposure with a view to progressing into a permanent career in medical engineering.
