What is a Field Service Engineer? | Untitled Label

Hey great video. I have an upcoming final interview for an apprenticeship (field service engineer) at Siemens Energy in the UAE. I was a spec ops JTAC in the UAE military and just recently ended my service. Any tips for the upcoming interviews and/or the apprenticeship program?

Much appreciated

Hi John. I discharged in 1983 after seven years as a Navy ET on a Gator-freighter and the AEGIS project. I've been in the field service industry for 40 years off and on, holding positions of FE, salesman, service manager, branch manager and general manager. This is an excellent synopsis of what an FE is responsible to know and do. I've watched a few of your videos and appreciate your observations and insights into the highlights and pitfalls. I am currently looking for a tech in NC and will recommend your channel to the entry level applicants to give them a better understanding of what they're getting into. Thanks for the good work mate! Best wishes in your endeavors.

Hey just got out of the Navy, looking into FSE rolls, how much training and time does it take to get accustomed to new systems/tech?

Would you mind talking about how to prepare for the interview of FSE?

Awesome video man very very helpful

Is Field Service Engineer the same as Field Service Representative because I see that it’s under Biomedical engineering technology?

What about a Hvac technician?

Currently going out as an apprentice as an automatician after 13 years of school, then setting my course for FSE!

I knew you had to be an FC from when you said "tech pubs". Lol, I'm an FC2 CIWS tech looking into the field since I'm coming up on the end of my 6.

Great video!

Whats company you work for ?

Keep sharing!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

without a doubt.. you need to like if not love the classroom... FSE's are always learning and getting trained. Equipment is always changing, and always evolving in Imaging.

Great informative keep them coming

Great video and an immaculate breakdown into the life. If you didn't spend your Navy time sitting behind a desk doing NKO's, you're probably a good fit for FSE positions. Not only are you paid to travel but you're going to meet the smartest people on the planet while doing it. You should totally add a topic about the hiring process and some good points to consider - paid training, who buys your tools, what kind of per diem, vehicle stipends/company car, etc. Definitely gained a sub!

When people ask me how I became a field service engineer, I tell them "Like Homer Simpson, I was hired under project 'boot strap'". With that said, I have been doing it for just shy of 20 years, and could never go back to a desk. Great video John!
