The Role

Based at the Doncaster depot, this is a hands-on, workshop-based role focused on the Major Repair, and Service predominantly of our Engine Powered Pump Fleet. You'll play a key role in ensuring all equipment returned from our depot network is quickly turned around, fully operational, and ready for putting back into hire fleet. This role is ideal for an engineer who prefers a stable depot environment while still working on a varied range of equipment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out fault-finding on mechanical and basic electrical issues
  • Prepare and test equipment ensuring it is fully operational
  • Refurbish and maintain diesel and electric pump units, including submersible pumps

  • Support general workshop operations including equipment movement and organisation
  • Maintain a safe working environment in line with health & safety procedures

What We're Looking For

  • Experience as a Pump Engineer, Service Engineer or similar mechanical role
  • Strong mechanical knowledge (essential)
  • Experience with pumps, plant, generators or similar equipment
  • Ideally experience working on diesel engines and associated systems
  • Fault-finding and diagnostic skills
  • A hands-on, proactive approach with good attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently within a depot environment
  • Full UK driving licence (preferred)

Desirable:

  • Experience within the hire industry
  • Basic electrical knowledge

What's on Offer

  • £37,000 - £45,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
  • Overtime opportunities available
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Stable, long-term career opportunity
  • Progression into senior or engineering roles

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer looking to step away from field work or secure a more structured, depot-based role. You'll be working on a wide range of equipment in a busy, well-supported environment, with clear opportunities to progress your career.
