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.

* 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

* Door-to-door pay
* Specialist tools provided
* Genuine long-term progression opportunities
