Are you a mechanically and electrically skilled Pump Engineer looking for a role that offers real earning potential, varied technical work and long-term stability?

We’re working with a well-established, fast-growing engineering business operating across water infrastructure, installation and specialist pump projects. Due to continued contract growth, they are strengthening their Northern engineering team.

This is not a basic service role. You’ll be involved in technically varied installations, fault finding and project-based works across wastewater infrastructure.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Service, maintenance and installation of wastewater & clean water pumping systems
• Electrical fault finding on pump controls and associated systems
• Mechanical pump removal, replacement and installation
• Working across sewage pumping stations and treatment sites
• Supporting technical installation and commissioning projects
• Working across both reactive and planned works
• Participating in a 1-in-4 on-call rota

You’ll be paid door to door, and work will be kept regional where possible.

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 4 years’ experience working on pump systems
• Strong mechanical AND electrical capability (dual-skilled essential)
• Level 3 electrical qualification desirable
• Utilities background highly advantageous (Thames, Southern, Yorkshire Water, United Utilities etc.)
• Comfortable working outdoors and in varied site environments
• Based within 45 minutes of York

This role suits engineers who enjoy technical challenge rather than repetitive servicing.

The Package:

• Competitive basic salary
• Minimum OTE £60,000+ per annum
• Bonus schemes
• Company vehicle & fuel card
• Door-to-door pay
• Specialist tools provided
• Genuine long-term progression opportunities

If you’re looking for a role where your skills are properly valued and earning potential reflects your experience — this is worth a conversation.
