Join to apply for the Lead Site Technician (North West England) role at AVK UK Ltd
Lead Technician (North West England)
Are you a skilled mechanical/electrical technician ready to lead a team without spending your life on the road?
Glenfield Invicta is part of the AVK Group, market leaders in the supply of valves, fittings and flow control equipment to the Water, Wastewater, Oil and Gas industries throughout the world. We are an established and industry leading, specialist MEICA contractor for valves, penstocks, and actuators, operating across the UK.
Why This Role Stands Out
Geographically Focused Workload: We prioritise projects across the North West. Whilst further travel will be required from time to time, you will spend less time travelling nationwide and more time delivering high-quality service in your region.
Work-Life Balance: Occasional overnight stays are part of the role, but your primary base will remain in the North.
About The Role
As a Lead Site Technician, you'll be a hands-on supervisor delivering on-site installation, servicing, and refurbishment of penstocks, valves, and actuators. You'll guide a team, drive quality standards, and liaise closely with customers and project engineers - ensuring safe, efficient project delivery.

* Install, service, repair and commission flow control and associated equipment.
* Fault finding, repairing & installing electric actuators.

* Conduct inspections on partially completed and finished works, to ensure quality standards are upheld and visible to the customer.
* Following engineering drawings.
What We're Looking For
Strong mechanical/electrical background - ideally with valve/actuator experience.
* Preferably SSSTS qualified.
* A solid technical background, ideally with penstocks, valves, actuators and associated equipment.
* Ability to understand and work to engineering drawings.
* Ability to travel throughout North West region on a daily basis. ***But not limited to this area***
* Willingness to work from our Hyde (Manchester) premises on a regular basis when required to do so.
* Willingness to occasionally travel across the UK and have overnights stays, in line with the needs of the company, its workload and customers.
* Experienced in confined space working.
* Proven experience of dealing with key customers in a professional manner.
* Excellent communication and solution orientated problem-solving ability.
* Demonstrate attention to detail and observation.
* Flexibility to adjust workload priorities to take account of new deadlines.
* IT fluency.
* Full driving licence.
Confident in leading others and upholding high standards.
