Job Description

Maintenance Engineer – Hydraulic & Piping Systems

Competitive Salary

Shropshire-based with occasional travel

Our long-standing client has been providing fuel storage and combustion services for over 35 years. Their expertise dates back to the 1960s, when fuel and water quality challenges on merchant naval vessels shaped their approach to engineering. Today, with a modern headquarters in Shropshire and a strategic stock point in the heart of Aberdeen port, they support clients across the UK – including key operators in the North Sea Offshore industry.

They’re now looking to add a skilled Maintenance Engineer to their team – someone with solid technical knowledge and a hands-on, practical mindset.

What you’ll be doing:

• Carrying out monthly planned preventative maintenance (PPM), including fuel sampling, filter checks and dewatering
• Supporting or performing fuel testing – full training provided
• On-site maintenance of dosing pumps, fuel pumps, dosing systems, hoses and pipework
• Fabrication of dosing systems and related components
• Managing stock levels and ordering necessary materials or spares
• Installing dosing systems, polishers, dispensing units and pipework
• Overseeing contractors on installation and maintenance projects

What we’re looking for:

• Strong experience working with hydraulic and piping systems – including Press-Fit, swaging, and pipe fittings
• Ability to inspect systems and identify issues such as leaks or faults
• Confident carrying out pipework and pump repairs
• Welding experience
• Knowledge of electrical systems or pressure testing is an advantage, but not essential
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Practical problem solver with a hands-on approach
• Time-served Apprenticeship or experience in a similar engineering or maintenance role

This is a great opportunity to join a respected, specialist business with long-term contracts and a focus on technical quality. If you’ve got the experience and want to work with a company that values precision and expertise, we’d like to hear from you.
