A Day in the Life of a Field Engineer using RedZebra

When you’re a field engineer, no two days are the same and that’s exactly why having the right tools matter. With RedZebra’s field service management software, engineers stay connected, organized, and efficient – from the van, the roadside, or the customer’s site. This is what a real day looks like using RedZebra in the field.

Hit the Ground Running

Forget the office. Field engineers start the day on the move. After a quick glance at RedZebra on their mobile device or tablet, the day’s job list is right there.

  • Prioritised
  • Location-based
  • Updated in real-time

And thanks to RedZebra being a cloud-based solution, there’s no need to return to the office.

Mobile Job Management on the Move

RedZebra’s mobile interface gives engineers full control of their job list, even while out in the field:

  • View job details, client notes, and history instantly
  • Update job status while on-site
  • Capture photos and customer signatures
  • Log parts used or issues encountered
  • Plan routes efficiently with integrated mapping

Whether field engineers are fixing HVAC systems, inspecting electrical faults, or servicing industrial equipment, RedZebra will help to keep your field service workflow smooth and connected.

On-Site Efficiency

When a fault is more complex than expected, service engineers don’t have time to be guessing. From boiler errors to network outages, RedZebra can help ensure your field team have the information and support to fix it right the first time.

  • Access to a full-service history
  • Communicate directly with office staff or senior engineers
Stay Connected

Field engineers don’t work in isolation. RedZebra’s integrated communication features let them:

  • Send live updates from the site
  • Request support from the office or other engineers
  • Upload photos, documentation, and completed job notes instantly

Everything syncs back to the system in real time, so management and admin teams always know where things stand and customers get the fast, informed service they expect.

Track and Improve Performance

RedZebra isn’t just for completing tasks – it’s about continual business improvements.

  • Track jobs completed, time on-site, and first-time fix rates
  • View personal performance metrics
  • Identify recurring faults or equipment issues

This kind of data-driven field service reporting gives businesses the insight to improve operations.
