About the Company
 

Our client is seeking an experienced Wastewater Pump Engineer to support their continued growth across the Northern region. The successful candidate will join a skilled engineering team delivering installation, maintenance, and repair services across sewage and clean water pumping equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• Replacement and modification of pipework, including PVC pipework and fittings.
• Assist with installation and commissioning of pumping systems as part of expanding electrical and installation operations.

• Role is remotely based with home working; however, engineers will be allocated to the York depot and will be required to attend regularly for parts collection, returns, and in-house training. Travel to the depot will be kept to a minimum where possible.
• Work allocation will be kept within the Northern region where possible; however, our client operates nationally and occasional travel outside the region may be required.
• Work will involve a mixture of lone working and paired working, depending on job requirements.
• Participation in a 1-in-4 call-out rota is required, providing 24/7 emergency coverage.
• Specialist tools and equipment required to undertake works will be provided by the company.
