It’s a role with real variety — from office-based work preparing reports or manuals, to time on-site with customers, and involvement in shaping the next generation of plumbing products.

What you’ll bring:

• Background in mechanical engineering or plumbing, ideally with major project exposure
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with a range of stakeholders
• Solid technical understanding of piping systems, installations or water movement
• Interest in training, continuous improvement, and influencing product outcomes
• A relevant trade or engineering qualification

If you enjoy solving complex problems, can translate technical details into practical solutions, and want to step off the tools while still staying close to industry, this could be a great fit for you.

What’s on offer?

• A technically engaging, relationship-driven role with national influence
• Long-term opportunity with a stable, global business
• Variety, flexibility, and the chance to work across product, customer and regulatory touchpoints
• Competitive package and ongoing professional growth
