Contract

Permanent, full-time The opportunity Packaged Water Solutions is seeking a capable, customer-focused Servicing Engineer to maintain, diagnose and repair packaged water systems at customer sites. This is a practical field role for an engineer who enjoys solving problems, working independently and delivering a professional service. You will carry out planned servicing, breakdown response, fault-finding, repairs and commissioning support. The role would particularly suit someone from a plumbing, pump, pipe fitting or mechanical-services background who is confident working with pipework, valves, filtration equipment and packaged plant.

What you will do Plan and complete scheduled servicing and preventive maintenance visits at customer sites. Diagnose mechanical and system faults, identify root causes and carry out effective repairs. Service pumps, valves, filters, UV equipment, vessels, gauges, controls and associated pipework. Replace worn or failed components and undertake minor pipework modifications using appropriate materials and jointing methods. Support installation, testing and commissioning of new or modified packaged water systems.

Carry out pressure, leak, flow and functional checks in accordance with safe working procedures. Complete clear service reports, record readings and parts used, and communicate follow-up actions promptly. Manage tools, test equipment, spare parts and vehicle stock so you are prepared for each visit. Work safely on customer premises, following risk assessments, site rules and company procedures. Build positive customer relationships and provide clear, practical advice on equipment condition and maintenance needs.

What we are looking for Practical experience in plumbing, pump servicing, pipe fitting, mechanical maintenance, plant-room work or field service. Good working knowledge of pipework, pumps, valves and mechanical services. Strong fault-finding skills and the ability to read drawings, schematics and equipment manuals. Ability to plan site visits, manage your own workload and work effectively without close supervision. Professional communication and a helpful, customer-focused approach.

A disciplined approach to safety, testing, service documentation and care of customer premises. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to customer sites. Useful additional experience Any of the following would be advantageous, but applicants do not need to meet every point: A recognised plumbing, mechanical engineering, pump, pipe fitting or building-services qualification. Experience servicing water-treatment equipment, filtration, UV systems, softeners or packaged plant.

Electrical awareness and experience working safely around controls, sensors and motor-driven equipment. Installation, commissioning or field-service experience. Relevant safety training, such as CSCS, confined-space, water-hygiene or lifting certification. Experience producing service reports and using digital job-management systems. What we offer Competitive salary of £30,000-£50,000, depending on experience. Occasional overtime and a performance-related bonus. Company pension and paid annual leave. Product training, professional development and scope for career progression as the company grows.

A varied field role working on a broad range of packaged water systems and customer sites. Support from an experienced engineering team, with the autonomy to manage your service workload. The opportunity to join a growing specialist engineering business.
