Competitive Salary (DOE) + Paid Overtime + Pension + Life Assurance + Training & Development
Are you a mechanically engineer or technician looking for a new challenge?
Would you like to work on large-scale pumps, diesel engines, electric motors and rotating equipment, developing specialist testing and commissioning skills within an established engineering business?
The Opportunity
We are working with a long-established engineering business specialising in the design and manufacture of engineered-to-order pump systems for customers across the UK and international markets.
This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll be involved in rigging, assembling, commissioning and testing large-scale pump and engine systems before they are delivered to customers.
No previous pump testing experience is required – what matters is your mechanical ability, attention to detail, willingness to learn and commitment to working safely.
