Job description

Maintenance Working Supervisor – Morden

Hands-on | Process plant | Pumps & Instrumentation | Great team culture

If you’re the kind of engineer who likes to keep things running — not just fix what’s broken — this could be your next move.

We’re looking for a Maintenance Working Supervisor to take charge of day-to-day maintenance at our Morden site.

You’ll lead a small team, stay close to the tools, and make sure our plant runs safely and smoothly.

💡 What’s in it for you

• Ownership & variety – every day’s different : pumps, compressors, valves, instrumentation, and more.
• Lead while staying hands-on – plan the work, jump in when needed, and keep standards high.
• Serious kit & safety culture – ATEX environment, permit-to-work systems, and a company that takes it seriously.
• Career growth – great for someone stepping up from lead technician or senior maintenance engineer.
• Stable industry – process-driven, long‑term operation with solid investment and backing.

🔧 You’ll fit in if you’ve…

• Worked in industrial gases, oil & gas, chemicals, or heavy manufacturing.
• Got solid experience with pumps, rotating equipment, or instrumentation calibration.
• Enjoy solving problems, leading from the front, and doing things safely.

You’ll be joining a team that values practical know-how, reliability, and getting the job done right.

If you’re ready to take ownership of your patch and lead by example, we’d love to talk.
