• Working safely at all times in hazardous and regulated environments

Technical Environment

• Fuel and fluid-handling systems
• Pumps, valves, pipework and associated equipment
• Electrical systems in hazardous areas
• Outdoor, industrial, and petrochemical environments

Once you understand one system, others become familiar, training and guidance are provided.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• Experience in service, maintenance or field engineering
• Mechanical repair experience with electrical fault-finding capability
• Comfortable working on live equipment in hazardous areas (with guidance)
• Ability to work independently and manage your own time
• Strong safety awareness and documentation discipline
• Full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK

Highly desirable

• Hazardous area training (CompEx awareness beneficial)
• Experience with pumps, valves and pipework
• IT-literate and comfortable completing reports digitally
• MEWP / PASMA / IPAF (training provided if needed)
• Safety Passport (preferred, not essential)

• Very high proportion of planned work
• Minimal sales or scheduling responsibility, just turn up and do the job
• Company van provided
• Stable workload in safety-critical environments
• Supportive team structure with guidance available
• Overtime paid properly
