Job description

TÜV SÜD – A global leader in the field of testing, inspection, management system certification and product certification renowned for quality, integrity and technical excellence.

Established more than 150 years ago in Germany, TÜV SÜD is a leading global provider of technical services with more than 28,000 highly skilled employees across 1,000 offices worldwide. TÜV SÜD offers a wide range of testing & product certification, inspection, auditing & system certification, training and knowledge services. We are a premium quality, safety, and sustainability solutions provider.

We test flow meters, the devices that measure how much liquid or gas is moving through a pipe. To do this, we build large test setups from pipes, valves and pumps, run the tests, then take everything apart for the next job.

We're looking for a practical, hands-on labourer to help our engineers and fitters keep this running. You don't need lab experience. If you've worked somewhere practical and you're comfortable with tools, we'll train you in the rest.

What you'll do:

• Help build and dismantle test setups made from pipework, valves and meters
• Fit and remove customers' equipment before and after testing
• Get tools, bolts, seals and parts ready for each job
• Move heavy equipment safely, using cranes and forklifts once trained
• Help with routine maintenance on pumps, valves and pipes
• Help check for leaks and pressure-test pipework, under supervision
• Spot and report damage or faults
• Keep workshops and test areas clean and organised
• Fill in simple checklists and records
• When testing is quieter, you'll work through planned maintenance and tidying jobs.

What we're looking for:

• Experience in a hands-on role, such as workshop, factory, construction, maintenance or warehouse work
• Comfortable using hand tools and doing physical work
• Safety-conscious and happy to follow procedures
• Reliable, organised and takes pride in a tidy job
• Works well in a team and communicates clearly
• Keen to learn new skills

It's a bonus if you have:

• Experience with pipes, valves or pumps
• Forklift, crane or slinging tickets
• The ability to read basic technical drawings
• Experience working on a site with formal safety permit
