About Quality Engineered Solutions
At Quality Engineered Solutions (QES), we keep critical manufacturing and industrial infrastructure operating at peak precision. From comprehensive preventative maintenance contracts to turn-key mechanical installations, manufacturers count on our field team for rapid response, technical diagnostics, and dependable mechanical execution. We take pride in delivering precision craftsmanship, reliable machinery solutions, and dedicated customer service directly to shop floors across the region.
Job Summary
Quality Engineered Solutions is seeking an experienced, hands-on Field Service Engineer to support our industrial maintenance, machine installation, and field repair operations. In this role, you will be the primary technical presence at client manufacturing plants—troubleshooting, servicing, and commissioning CNC machine tools, automated manufacturing cells, high-pressure auxiliary systems, and heavy industrial machinery.
The ideal candidate pairs solid mechanical fundamentals with diagnostic capabilities across CNC controls, industrial hydraulics, and PLC systems. If you thrive on the shop floor, take ownership of complex machine breakdowns, and deliver high-standard service to manufacturing partners, QES is the place to advance your career.
Key Responsibilities
- CNC & Machinery Installation: Perform on-site mechanical installation, precision leveling, alignment, integration, and commissioning of CNC machinery (mills, lathes) and auxiliary manufacturing systems.
- Diagnostics & Repair: Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, electrical, and control faults on CNC machine tools, spindle drives, axis servo systems, and automated logic controllers (PLCs).
- Preventative Maintenance: Execute structured preventative maintenance (PM) service agreements across customer machine fleets to eliminate unplanned downtime and maintain tight machining tolerances.
- Fluid Power & Auxiliaries: Inspect, diagnose, and repair high-pressure hydraulic circuits, pneumatic actuators, high-pressure coolant units, and chip-filtration auxiliary systems.
- Safe Shop-Floor Operations: Safely operate scissor lifts, boom lifts, and standard rigging/lifting hardware in compliance with OSHA guidelines, QES standards, and client safety policies.
- Root Cause Analysis: Read electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, and ladder logic to identify root causes of machine failure and implement permanent mechanical solutions.
- Field Documentation: Complete detailed digital field service reports (FSRs) logging diagnostic findings, corrective actions, parts replaced, and proactive recommendations.
- Customer Interaction: Communicate directly with plant managers, maintenance supervisors, and machine operators to explain repairs, provide technical updates, and verify customer sign-off.
Qualifications & Skills
- CNC Machine Experience: Practical experience troubleshooting, maintaining, or repairing CNC machinery (e.g., Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, or Heidenhain controls) and linear/rotary motion components (ball screws, linear guides, way lube systems).
- Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems: Strong hands-on mechanical proficiency diagnosing high-pressure pumps, proportional valves, manifolds, and cylinder circuits.
- Electrical & Controls Literacy: Ability to read schematics, trace wiring, test sensors/switches, and navigate basic PLC ladder logic and control diagnostics.
- Fabrication Skills: Practical experience with light welding (MIG/TIG), torch cutting, or manual machining is a plus.
- Equipment Safety: Experience operating aerial work platforms (scissor lifts); forklift operation or basic machinery rigging knowledge preferred.
- Professional Communication: Clear, professional verbal and written communication in English; capable of representing QES professionally on client sites.
- Self-Direction: Strong problem-solving ability with the independence to manage complex field repairs under real-world production deadlines.
- Travel & Physical Requirements: Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; ability to travel to regional client sites and lift up to 50 lbs.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $20.00 - $35.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
- Paid time off
- Parental leave
- Professional development assistance

Field Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a field engineer in Florida?
Most field engineer roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline. For roles that involve public infrastructure or signing off on engineered systems, the Florida Board of Professional Engineers oversees licensure, which starts with passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and progressing to the Professional Engineer credential. Many employers also accept candidates with an associate degree plus hands-on technical experience, particularly in telecommunications and construction.
Which companies hire field engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring field engineers in Florida right now include CWR Contracting, NextEra Energy, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's concentration of defense contractors, telecom infrastructure providers, and utility companies means field engineering roles appear across a wide range of industries and employer sizes throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most field engineer jobs?
Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville have the most field engineer openings in Florida. Tampa's industrial and utility base, Miami's dense commercial and telecommunications infrastructure, and Orlando's proximity to defense and aerospace contractors each drive consistent demand, while smaller markets like Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral contribute through port operations and space industry activity.
Are there remote field engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Field engineering is fundamentally a hands-on, site-based role, so most positions require physical presence at job sites, client facilities, or equipment locations. About 34% of field engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to be in technical support, network operations, or project coordination functions rather than direct installation or maintenance work.
How can I get hired as a field engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a field technician or engineering associate role, which large Florida employers in telecom, utilities, and construction use as a pipeline for developing junior engineers. Companies like Siemens and major Florida utilities offer rotational programs and apprenticeships for candidates without direct experience. Earning an EIT designation through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers signals seriousness to hiring managers, and a portfolio of relevant coursework or internship projects from a Florida engineering program strengthens an application considerably.
