THE BUSINESS

Based in Aberdeen, our client is an established engineering business specialising in the reverse engineering, refurbishment, servicing, repair and overhaul of rotating equipment, particularly pumps.

THE PERSON

The client is looking for an experienced, hands-on engineer who can bring established rotating equipment knowledge to the workshop. This is not an entry-level or trainee position.
• Completed a recognised four-year mechanical apprenticeship; an apprenticeship specialising in rotating equipment is strongly preferred
• Several years’ practical experience working with centrifugal pumps
• Hands-on experience stripping, inspecting, measuring, repairing and rebuilding pumps
• Confident measuring components and working to tight engineering tolerances
• Practical experience of balancing, hydraulic dressing and profiling rotating components

• Able to work effectively within a workshop team and contribute with minimal day-to-day supervision
• Reliable, quality-focused and committed to safe working practices

IMPORTANT – RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Applicants must be able to demonstrate direct, hands-on experience with centrifugal pumps or closely related rotating equipment. Experience limited to drilling operations, pipe fitting, hydraulic pipework or valve technician work will not meet the requirements unless accompanied by the specific pump or rotating equipment experience outlined above.
