About the Role
Are you a mechanically biased Condition Monitoring Engineer, Vibration Analyst or Reliability Engineer with hands-on experience of rotating equipment and predictive maintenance?
RecruitME is recruiting for a Condition Monitoring Engineer to improve the reliability and availability of anaerobic digestion plants and gas-upgrading equipment across the UK.
This is a practical, field-based engineering role rather than a desk-based reliability position.
You will travel to operational sites, collect and analyse condition-monitoring data, identify developing faults and work with maintenance teams to prevent repeat failures and reduce plant downtime.
What’s in it for you?
- Salary up to £47,500
- Annual bonus
- Company vehicle or car allowance
- Fuel card
- Private healthcare
- Up to 7.5% contributory pension
- 33 days’ annual leave including bank holidays
- Home-based position
- Condition-monitoring equipment provided
- Opportunity to shape a multi-site predictive-maintenance programme
What you’ll be doing
- Carrying out vibration analysis on rotating equipment
- Completing thermography, oil analysis and LDAR inspections
- Developing predictive-maintenance routes across multiple sites
- Analysing equipment condition and identifying emerging faults
- Producing clear technical reports and maintenance recommendations
- Leading Root Cause Analysis investigations
- Completing FMEA assessments on critical plant and equipment
- Troubleshooting mechanical faults and recurring failures
- Recommending equipment upgrades and reliability improvements
- Raising maintenance actions and recording findings within the CMMS
- Supporting plant engineers, operators and engine technicians
- Travelling regularly to operational sites across the UK
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Equipment may include
- Pumps
- Motors
- Gearboxes
- Bearings
- Fans and blowers
- Compressors
- Mixers and agitators
- Conveyors
- Gas-upgrading systems
- CHP engines
- Other rotating mechanical equipment
What we’re looking for
You should have:
- A strong mechanical engineering or maintenance background
- Hands-on experience with rotating equipment
- Practical condition-monitoring or predictive-maintenance experience
- Proven vibration-analysis experience
- A recognised vibration-analysis qualification
- Good knowledge of mechanical failure modes
- Experience interpreting condition-monitoring data
- Root Cause Analysis experience
- Knowledge of FMEA or similar reliability tools
- Experience using CMMS or predictive-maintenance software
- Strong technical reporting skills
- A full UK driving licence
- Flexibility to travel extensively
- The ability to work independently at operational sites

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Preferred qualifications
- Mechanical apprenticeship or equivalent experience
- NVQ Level 2 or above in a mechanical discipline
- BINDT or Mobius Vibration Analysis Category I or II
- Thermography or lubrication-analysis qualification
- Formal RCA or FMEA training
Relevant sector backgrounds
Experience may come from:
- Anaerobic digestion
- Biogas
- Renewable energy
- Power generation
- Food or process manufacturing
- Steel
- Chemicals or petrochemicals
- Oil and gas
- Utilities
- Heavy engineering
- Continuous-process industries
Previous anaerobic-digestion experience is advantageous but not essential if you have strong vibration-analysis and rotating-equipment expertise.
This role would suit an experienced Condition Monitoring Engineer, Vibration Analyst, Predictive Maintenance Engineer, Mechanical Reliability Engineer, Asset Reliability Engineer or Rotating Equipment Engineer.
Candidates based in the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, South Yorkshire or eastern England are particularly well positioned for the travel requirements.
