Leicester-based / UK-wide travel

A hands-on engineering opportunity with a growing specialist water treatment company.

We're working with an established and growing specialist water treatment business that is looking to add an experienced engineer to its team.

• Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems
• Water softeners
• Deionisation / DI systems
• Filtration equipment
• Pumps and associated equipment
• Valves and mechanical components
• Pipework and associated systems

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planned servicing and preventative maintenance
• Diagnosing mechanical and equipment faults
• Carrying out repairs and component replacements
• Mechanical pipework and installation

• Carrying out system modifications and remedial works
• Producing accurate service and installation reports
• Working directly with customers on commercial and industrial sites

We're particularly interested in people with a strong mechanical engineering background.

You could currently be working as a:

Water Treatment Engineer | Mechanical Engineer | Mechanical Fitter | Mechanical Pipefitter | Pipefitter | Field Service Engineer | Installation Engineer | Commissioning Engineer

Water treatment experience would be a major advantage, particularly with RO, softeners or DI systems, but it isn't essential.

A strong mechanical engineer or pipefitter with experience working with pumps, valves, pipework and mechanical equipment could be an excellent fit.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has solid hands-on mechanical engineering experience

• Is confident fault-finding and solving problems
• Has experience with pipework, pumps and valves
• Can work independently on customer sites
• Takes pride in the quality of their work
• Is comfortable travelling throughout the UK
• Has a full UK driving licence

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to move into a specialist and technically interesting area of engineering.

Full training can be provided on the water treatment side for the right mechanical engineer.

You'll gain experience across a range of technologies including RO, water softening, DI and filtration, working on projects and service requirements across commercial and industrial environments.

What's on Offer?

• £35,000–£45,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• UK-wide engineering role
• Company vehicle / travel package
• Overtime opportunities
• Specialist technical training
• Long-term career development
• Opportunity to build expertise in a growing specialist sector
