Field Services Engineer - Industrial Water Treatment

Field Service Engineer - Industrial Water Treatment

Location: M1 North Corridor | Nottingham, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield & Leeds Hours: Monday to Friday, Days Salary: Up to £45,000 + Profit Related Bonus Benefits: Company Vehicle & Fuel Card + Bonus + Health & Wellbeing Cash Plan + Pension

Are you a multi-skilled engineer based along the M1 corridor, looking for something different from working on the same production line, factory or site every day?

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 North.

The ideal location is along the M1 corridor, particularly around Chesterfield, Sheffield, Barnsley or the surrounding areas, providing good access to customer sites across the North, Midlands and surrounding regions. Candidates around Nottingham, Mansfield, Wakefield and Leeds will also be considered.

You do not need to come from the water industry.

Experience with reverse osmosis, water treatment or process utilities would certainly be advantageous, but the priority is finding a strong, practical electromechanical engineer who can fault find, work independently and confidently deal with customers.

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

What you'll be doing

Working from home and travelling directly to customer sites, you'll take responsibility for the service, maintenance, fault finding and commissioning of industrial water treatment equipment.

Your role will include:

Carrying out planned and reactive maintenance across customer sites.

Electrical and mechanical fault finding on industrial plant and equipment.

Working with pumps, motors, valves, pipework, filtration equipment, dosing systems and associated controls.

Servicing and troubleshooting reverse osmosis and other water treatment systems, with training available where required.

Supporting the installation and commissioning of new equipment and systems.

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

We're interested in speaking with engineers who have:

A strong electromechanical engineering background.

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 along the M1 corridor, including Nottingham, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield or Leeds.

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 salary of up to £45,000, alongside:
