Reading & Berkshire

The Company – Field Service Engineer, Scanning Electron Microscopes

My client is a worldwide leading manufacturer of technically advanced optical, microscopy and electronic visualisation systems, trusted by scientific and healthcare professionals to deliver ‘best in class’ product solutions across their key markets, which include life science research and drug discovery, medical systems and semiconductor manufacture. Employing thousands of people and with representation in over eighty countries globally, this organisation operates at the forefront of technology and innovation, with an unrelenting commitment to research and development, world class manufacturing facilities and the recruitment of good people central to their future success.

The Role - Field Service Engineer, Scanning Electron Microscopes

This market leading optical group now seeks to recruit a technically motivated and customer focused Field Service Engineer, responsible for the planned preventative maintenance, service, breakdown and repair of leading edge fully networked scanning electron microscopes, used in a wide range of sectors such as nanotechnology, materials analysis, semiconductor failure analysis, life sciences and quality assurance.

This role is home based, and will involve travelling to customer sites throughout the region above. The successful applicant will need to reside in this region and ensure that the highest levels of customer service are always maintained.

Your Background – Field Service Engineer, Scanning Electron Microscopes

Applications for this exciting role are welcome from service engineers, maintenance engineers or systems engineers from a wide range of industry sectors, as full and comprehensive manufacturers training will be provided.

Crucially, to be considered for this role, you must have a ‘multi-skilled’ service engineering background, gained ideally with a range of technologies, including electronics, mechanics, electrics and / or HV & LV systems.

Applications are encouraged from Service Engineers from a wide range of electronic based high value capital equipment sectors, including ex HM Forces Engineers (Navy, REME or RAF, Sonar, Radar, Weapons Systems, etc), print press, medical device, laboratory device, pharmaceutical, semiconductor or other high value instrumentation environments. Full and extensive product training will be provided, so whatever your background in service engineering, your application will be considered.

The Benefits – Field Service Engineer, Scanning Electron Microscopes

This is a truly excellent opportunity to join a world-class manufacturer of high value capital equipment. You will be joining a national team of engineers who take great pride in their work and who aim to build upon long-term relationships with customers.

You will be continually challenged as you are exposed to new technologies. You will receive constant support and guidance from senior management and your technical knowledge will be furthered through ongoing training courses across a broad range of instrumentation. For those with the desire there are opportunities to progress your career into more technical specialist roles.

An excellent salary of up to £45K is accompanied by a generous bonus and overtime package (Earnings to £50K-£53K) and benefits package which includes a fully expensed company car, bonus scheme, life assurance, pension scheme, lunch allowance, laptop, mobile phone and the opportunity to progress your career within a truly market leading technically innovative organisation.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.

Quantum Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Quantum Department

Quantum computing has shifted from lab curiosity to the next frontier of high-impact computing. Across the UK, universities, national labs, start-ups, and established tech and finance firms are building quantum teams to explore algorithms, design hardware, and deliver quantum-ready software. As momentum grows, so does the need for clear, robust team structures. Because quantum R&D spans physics, engineering, computer science, and product, ambiguity about who does what can slow progress, increase risk, and inflate costs. This guide maps the typical roles in a modern quantum computing department, how they collaborate across the research-to-product lifecycle, skills and backgrounds UK employers expect, indicative salary ranges, common pitfalls, and practical ways to structure teams that move fast without breaking science.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Quantum Computing Jobs Hub

Quantum computing is rapidly emerging from the realm of theoretical physics into practical reality. While classical computers use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers employ qubits, which can exist in superpositions of states. This enables them to tackle certain types of problems—such as optimisation, complex simulations, and cryptography—that classical machines struggle with. Although quantum technology is still in its early stages, sectors including financial services, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and cybersecurity are already experimenting with and investing in quantum computing. As a result, demand for professionals with expertise in quantum algorithms, quantum hardware, software integration, and quantum error correction is growing. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned to become a global quantum computing jobs hub. With leading universities, expanding research programmes, supportive government strategy, and a maturing quantum ecosystem, the UK is building a foundation for career growth in this transformative field.
