Location:** Chesterfield, Derbyshire

£40,000 - £45,000 (negotiable depending on experience).

**More Than Just Maintenance – Take Your Engineering Skills on the Road!**

**Looking for a role where no two days are quite the same?**

This could be just the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're looking for a hands-on Multi-Skilled Engineer with an electrical bias to join a growing engineering operation specialising in pumping equipment and control systems.

This is a varied, practical role combining workshop-based engineering with nationwide site work. One day you could be fault-finding a control panel, the next rebuilding a pump, commissioning new equipment or solving a problem at a customer's site.

You'll have the freedom to take ownership of your work, the tools to do the job properly and the opportunity to develop your skills across a broad range of electrical and mechanical engineering challenges.

**What will you be doing?**

This is a genuinely multi-skilled position, with electrical engineering at its heart.

Your responsibilities will include:

-   Installing, wiring, setting up and commissioning pump control systems.
-   Fault-finding and repairing electrical control panels, motor starters, inverters and variable speed drives.
-   Testing and calibrating instruments, sensors and control equipment.
-   Diagnosing electrical faults across motors, cabling and associated equipment.
-   Stripping down, repairing and rebuilding a variety of industrial pumps.
-   Replacing bearings, seals, impellers and other mechanical components.
-   Installing pumps, pipework and associated equipment at customer sites.
-   Carrying out planned maintenance, breakdown repairs and commissioning work.
-   Completing service reports and ensuring all work is carried out safely and professionally.

You'll spend approximately 50% of your time in the workshop and 50% travelling to customer sites across the UK.

## Requirements

We're interested in practical engineers who enjoy problem-solving, take pride in their work and aren't afraid to roll their sleeves up.

Ideally, you'll have:

-   At least three years' experience in a multi-skilled maintenance, service or field engineering role.
-   A strong electrical background, ideally working with pumps, motors or other rotating machinery.
-   An NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds qualification or a recognised engineering apprenticeship.
-   Experience reading electrical drawings and fault-finding control circuits.
-   Good mechanical fitting skills and experience working on rotating equipment.
-   Confidence working independently and making decisions on site.
-   A flexible, can-do attitude and a willingness to travel nationwide.
-   Experience with VSDs, PLCs, instrumentation, telemetry or pump systems would be a real advantage.  
    

Don't have experience with every control system? No problem. Full training will be provided on specific equipment and technologies.

## Benefits

It's not just about the engineering. There's a strong package of benefits on offer:

-   Company van and fuel card
-   Company mobile phone
-   Full tool kit and quality PPE provided
-   25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
-   Company pension
-   Lunch provided every day – in workshop and for when you’re on the road.
-   Company-wide profit share scheme
-   Overtime opportunities
-   Hotel accommodation and subsistence paid when staying away
-   **Working pattern:** 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
-   **Working split:** Approximately 50% workshop (Chesterfield) / 50% UK-wide site work
-   **Travel:** Nationwide, with occasional overnight stays and overtime required (paid)
-   A full UK manual driving licence is essential.  
    

**Ready for your next engineering challenge?**

If you're an electrically biased engineer who enjoys variety, independence and working on equipment that keeps essential industries moving, we'd love to hear from you.
