Are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer looking to move into a field-based role where you can use your fault-finding skills across a variety of industrial systems?
This is a great opportunity to step into industrial water treatment, working on critical plant used across sectors including food, pharmaceutical, aerospace and manufacturing.

They design, install and maintain water treatment systems used in production and utilities, covering the full lifecycle from build and commissioning through to service, upgrades and technical support.
The Role
As a Field Service Engineer, you'll support customers across mainly the South West, carrying out servicing, maintenance and fault finding on industrial water treatment systems.
You'll typically work on one job per day, giving you time to complete work properly without being rushed between sites.

Fault finding across mechanical and electrical systems
Strip down, repair and replacement of components such as pumps, valves, filters and membranes
Supporting installation and commissioning projects as experience develops

Typical equipment:
Pumps, valves and pipework systems
Filtration skids and treatment units
Reverse osmosis and deionisation systems

If the job is done and paperwork is complete, you finish for the day
No call-out rota
Travel is primarily across the South West, with:
Occasional UK travel
All accommodation arranged and paid for any commute over 2 hours
What We're Looking For
Apprentice-trained or time-served Maintenance Engineer
Strong mechanical skills (pumps, valves, pipework, strip down work)
Basic electrical competence (motors, panels, sensors, fault finding)
Comfortable working independently and dealing with customers
Full UK driving licence
Water treatment experience is beneficial but not essential. Engineers from manufacturing, utilities, chemical, food, agricultural or similar environments are all encouraged to apply.
