FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER - HASSELT (BELGIUM) - PERMANENT POSITION
We're currently recruiting for a capable and adaptable Field Service Engineer with a strong electronics background to support the deployment, maintenance, and in-service support of complex electronic systems operating in secure and safety-critical environments.
This role involves working with advanced hardware systems that may include sensing, communication, control, or monitoring equipment used across a range of regulated sectors.
You will be responsible for ensuring systems remain fully operational, reliable, and compliant throughout their lifecycle. This includes on-site installation, fault diagnosis, repair, upgrades, and preventative maintenance activities. The role requires a methodical approach to troubleshooting at component and system level, often in environments where access, documentation, or time constraints demand a high level of technical competence and judgement.
Working closely with engineering, logistics, and support teams, you will help resolve technical issues, feed back field data to improve product performance, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
You will also engage directly with customers and end users, providing clear technical guidance while maintaining professionalism in secure or sensitive settings.
This position is well suited to an engineer who enjoys hands-on technical work, problem-solving in real-world conditions, and working with sophisticated electronic systems without being confined to a purely office-based role.
