Global IMAC & Field Engineering
Global IMAC and field engineering bring physical installation, moves, additions and changes into a coordinated delivery process. FBT supports authorized onsite tasks with a clear work order, readiness checks, remote escalation and useful completion evidence.
Request a ConsultationTHE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE
A remote team cannot verify an unlabelled cable or replace a failed appliance without local hands. Attendance alone is not an outcome: the engineer needs the correct scope, access, parts and acceptance criteria.
Connect your central technical direction with available regional and partner resources. Each dispatch is confirmed against the actual site, skills and schedule, with exceptions visible in the handover.
Explore the full scopeTHE SERVICE CATALOGUE
20 distinct services within global imac & field engineering. Select the tasks your project needs; scope, ownership and acceptance are agreed before delivery.
Coordinate an onsite engineer for an approved installation task after checking coverage, skills and site readiness. Define the work order and acceptance evidence before confirming attendance.
Dispatch confirmation and completed work order.
Move agreed equipment within or between facilities using documented connection and handling requirements. Coordinate downtime, access and destination readiness so the move has a clear acceptance point.
Move schedule and reconnection record.
Add approved devices to an existing technology environment. Verify the available ports, mounting, power and configuration dependencies before installing the new component and recording its identity.
Installed-device record and functional checks.
Carry out centrally approved configuration changes at the site when physical attendance is required. Follow the supplied method and escalation path, documenting results and any unexpected condition.
Change evidence and technician completion notes.
Provide physical tasks under the direction of an authorized remote technical team. Capture clear photographs, labels and observations so the remote specialist can make informed decisions.
Task evidence and remote-session record.
Mount and connect approved equipment in a prepared rack. Confirm weight, rail compatibility, port assignments and power instructions before work begins; live electrical work remains separately assigned.
Rack installation evidence and asset details.
Attend a scoped equipment fault where onsite inspection or replacement is needed. Confirm parts availability and customer authorization before promising a restoration outcome or dispatch window.
Diagnostic findings and repair record.
Replace approved endpoints or network devices using the agreed staging and return process. Record serial numbers and verify service operation, preserving the customer's asset chain of custody.
Swap record and return-material details.
Inspect proposed locations for pathways, equipment space, connectivity and installation dependencies. Record access restrictions and unresolved conditions before deployment resources are booked.
Site survey and readiness checklist.
Support a planned network change with physical patching, equipment checks and local validation. Work to a shared runbook with a remote lead and clear rollback criteria.
Cutover evidence and acceptance checklist.
Deliver scoped installation or replacement work around store operating requirements. Coordinate access to tills, communications cupboards and trading areas with the named site contact.
Store work order and opening-readiness checks.
Install preapproved branch technology from a site pack. Validate local connections and escalate differences from the design so an undocumented site exception does not become a wider support problem.
Branch installation record and exception log.
Perform authorized physical tasks in an accessible data-center environment. Confirm access sponsorship, rack coordinates and evidence restrictions before attendance; facility permissions remain a prerequisite.
Task log and authorized installation evidence.
Arrange an agreed maintenance-window visit where business operations limit daytime work. Confirm staffing, access and escalation availability before attendance rather than offering blanket response guarantees.
Window plan and readiness confirmation.
Coordinate collection of approved equipment for return, repair or redeployment. Record identifiers and handover details, keeping disposal and data-handling instructions under the customer's authorization.
Collection inventory and custody receipt.
Identify physical connections using agreed methods and safe access to both ends. Record ambiguous links and label verified connections so later remediation can be scoped with confidence.
Trace results and updated connection records.
Capture authorized photographs that explain equipment condition, labels and installation progress. Avoid sensitive details and follow site-specific evidence rules before sharing records with the project team.
Organized photo evidence and annotation index.
Execute the specified onsite checks with expected results defined in the work order. Record failures and escalation actions so attendance does not get confused with successful commissioning.
Signed test checklist and exception evidence.
Match a programme's task requirements to available regional or partner resources. Confirm coverage for each site and avoid representing a coordination network as permanent offices everywhere.
Coverage confirmation and resource schedule.
Consolidate engineer notes, asset details and acceptance evidence after attendance. Make incomplete work and next actions visible to the customer or remote operations team.
Handover pack and outstanding-actions list.
A CLOSER LOOK
An effective dispatch begins before travel. Confirm the address, required skills, exact physical tasks, equipment identities and access arrangements. Provide the authorized technical contact and expected evidence so the field resource knows what can be completed and what requires a customer decision.
Qualified task pack, readiness checklist and assigned technical and access contacts.
Explore the service catalogueSmart-hands support lets an authorized remote team direct defined physical actions. Clear device references, communication windows and decision boundaries prevent ambiguity. Field evidence records what was changed and tested without implying ownership of configurations or systems outside the assigned role.
Physical task results, device references and evidence for remote technical acceptance.

IMAC work should keep equipment and connection records accurate as the estate changes. Reconcile devices before removal, record new positions and verify the agreed functions after installation. Return or disposal instructions require explicit custody and destination responsibilities within the work order.
Move and change records, updated inventory and agreed equipment-return evidence.
Explore the service catalogue
A site visit may finish while an external dependency remains unresolved. Report installation, testing and acceptance separately, identifying blocked functions and their owners. This gives the customer a useful completion record and lets the next action be assigned without disguising an incomplete service as fully operational.
Accepted work evidence, exceptions and a clearly owned action register.

WHERE THIS WORKS
YOUR QUESTIONS
The work order is checked for scope, location, access, skills, parts and acceptance evidence before resource availability is confirmed.
Install, move, add and change: practical work on technology equipment and its connections, performed against an approved task scope.
Yes. Smart-hands work can follow an authorized remote lead with agreed communication, escalation and evidence requirements.
No. International delivery uses available regional and partner resources, and each site and schedule requires confirmation.
Yes, where compatible equipment and authorization are provided. Serial capture, service checks and return handling are agreed in the work order.
The engineer records the dependency and escalates it. Unapproved design changes are not silently substituted for the planned task.
Attendance requires the appropriate facility sponsor and permissions. Access approval is established before dispatch.
The agreed pack may include test results, asset identities, authorized photographs, completion notes and clearly assigned outstanding work.
