Perhaps you're already a Field Service Engineer, or you're an experienced Maintenance Engineer looking to take your electrical and mechanical skills into a field-based role where you'll work independently, visit a variety of industrial sites and develop specialist knowledge within water treatment. Yolk Recruitment is supporting an established and growing engineering business specialising in industrial water treatment and process systems. Due to continued growth, they are looking for an experienced Field Service Engineer to strengthen their coverage across the South East. You do not need to come from the water industry.

Engineers from manufacturing, FMCG, utilities, pumps, facilities, chemical/process environments and industrial field service backgrounds are all of interest.

Diagnosing faults and getting critical customer equipment back into operation.
Providing technical support to customers and plant operators.
Completing service reports and accurately documenting work carried out.
Identifying opportunities to improve plant reliability and performance.
Managing your own workload and representing the business professionally on customer sites.
What we're looking for

A recognised engineering qualification or relevant time-served experience.
Hands-on experience maintaining and fault finding industrial equipment.
Good knowledge of equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, pipework, controls or process plant.
The confidence to diagnose problems independently rather than simply replace parts.
Good communication skills and the ability to deal directly with customers.
A full UK driving licence.
Ideally based around the A34 corridor or within a sensible travelling distance of this area.
Flexibility to travel as part of a field-based engineering position.
Previous water treatment, reverse osmosis, filtration or process utility experience is desirable, not essential .
What's in it for you?
This is an opportunity to take your existing engineering skills into a specialist and growing industry without needing years of previous water treatment experience. You'll receive a competitive salary , alongside: Profit Related Bonus
