Responsibilities:
- Act as the technical SME for pumping systems and electro‑mechanical water assets
- Diagnose and resolve complex asset issues using structured problem‑solving and RCA
- Translate operational, maintenance, and control system data into engineering actions
- Improve maintenance strategies to reduce repeat failures and reactive work
- Optimise pump performance using understanding of pump curves and system behaviour
- Integrate insights across mechanical, electrical, and operational domains
- Apply asset data (e.g. SCADA, condition monitoring) to support predictive maintenance
- Contribute to development of data‑driven and AI‑enabled reliability approaches
About you:
- Degree/ Trades qualification with 5 to 10 years’ experience in Mechanical, Mechatronic Engineering or related discipline
- Strong experience in condition monitoring and fault diagnostics with pumps and rotating equipment in water or industrial environments
- Solid understanding of pump curves, system interactions, and failure mechanisms
- Understanding in reliability engineering (RCA, FMEA, maintenance optimisation)
- Knowledge of control systems (VSD/VFD, PLC, SCADA) and their impact on assets
- Experience working with asset performance data and condition monitoring systems
- Exposure to predictive analytics, digital tools, or AI applications in asset management will be an advantage
