Service Engineer Careers 

Find out what it could mean for you to join us as a Service Engineer. 

Among our talented employee base, one in four of our current Service Engineers previously worked in a military role. 

From leaving the Navy after 8 years in 2004, I’ve had several jobs and have never really felt comfortable in civvy street – that is until I started at Siemens Healthineers.

I joined in 2020 as a Laboratory Diagnostics engineer and am responsible for servicing, maintaining and updating Automation solutions and in-vitro analysers in Hospitals and Laboratories locally.

My career gives me a great sense of responsibility and satisfaction that these instruments are delivering clinical and critical results used for diagnosis and treatments for patients across the local NHS network.

The equipment is interesting and enjoyable to work on, engineering skills are easily transferable, and the role gives me satisfaction from daily challenges. With comprehensive training courses, mentoring, coaching and ongoing support, it doesn’t take long before you feel you have belonging within the company. I only wish I joined in 2004.

I'm a former Avionics Engineer who served in the Royal Air Force for 16 years. My journey with Siemens began in 2013 with the Offshore Renewables division and after a short period in the FMCG industry, I joined the Siemens Healthineers team in 2019. Today I’m responsible for a wide variety of equipment from ultrasound to diagnostic and interventional x-ray products.

Siemens Healthineers recognises the military ethos, core values and standards which has supported my transition to civilian life. In addition to a manager who understands military nuances, we have a team comprised of a healthy mix of tri-forces, non-military and apprentices who are always happy support, mentor and have a general chat about the weather.

The diverse nature of this role ensures that each day presents a unique set of challenges, ranging from performing scheduled maintenance and software installations, to providing technical support and addressing customer inquiries.

I was an Electronic Technician in the REME for 11 years. During resettlement, I applied for a job with Siemens Healthineers as a Laboratory Diagnostic Engineer, which would see me responsible for various automated equipment within blood science laboratories across England. 

I hadn’t done MED & DENT and had limited knowledge about the healthcare industry. I did, however, have great transferable skills and confidence achieved during my time in the Army, which I have been able to enhance with the opportunities provided by Siemens Healthineers and the support of my colleagues and management.

Since starting my employment with Siemens Healthineers in September 2022, I have completed three training courses in Barcelona, Llanberis and remotely with future training courses already in the pipeline in Eschborn, Germany which has satisfied my enjoyment for travelling.
