What you’ll be doing

as a Mechanical & Electrical Engineer

Working within the maintenance team you will follow robust planned maintenance, getting involved in minor installation projects, electrical fault finding and emergency breakdown repairs to ensure our plant operates all year round.

The successful candidate will be working in a small, multi-discipline team and will be responsible for carrying- out scheduled, unscheduled and emergency maintenance work on mechanical and electrical equipment in compliance with company procedures to minimise plant breakdowns. You will investigate plant failures and carry out repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible to avoid interruptions to the process. This may involve investigating and diagnosing complex faults and carrying out repairs during incidents. You will be expected to provide technical advice, referring to up-to-date technical knowledge, and provide training or support for technical trainees if required. Examples of equipment that you will be working on will be motors, gearboxes, screw /chain conveyors & centrifuges, various pumps, and associated control gear, 3-phase motors, starters and controls, electronic control systems such as VSD, automatic valves, flow, level and pressure measurement, programmable logic controllers, variable speed drives and controls, chemical handling, and dosing equipment. Participate in a stand-by rota following the relevant training.

What should you bring to the role?

You should be a time-served apprentice with significant experience in electrical systems working in a “true multi-skilled” capacity. Previous experience in an electrical apprenticeship, ONC/HNC in engineering, NVQ or C&G level 3 in mechanical engineering with an upskill qualification in mechanical NVQ2/3 is crucial. Ideally you will have been upskilled with a mechanical qualification to allow inspecting, maintaining, fault diagnosing, testing, installing, modifying, or repairing mechanical and electrical plant equipment safely and efficiently. For individuals with mechanical or electrical experience only, we will look to develop the right people to dual skilled status. Experience working on large industrial plant equipment including various pumps within the utilities industry would be beneficial. Due to the nature of this role, domestic experience is not suitable. Knowledge and awareness of health and safety issues are crucial. The work will require physical fitness as you will work in confined spaces with successful completion of the appropriate training. Participation in a 24/7 out-of-hours standby rota will be required after a suitable period of training and assessment. A valid driving licence is essential and all necessary equipment such as vehicles and tools are provided.

What’s in it for you?

Competitive salary up to £36,840 per annum depending on skills and experience. Annual Leave - 24 days holiday per year increasing to 28 with the length of service. (Plus bank holidays)  Contributory pension – Defined Contribution - Maximum of 12% -2x employee contribution. Personal Medical Assessments – Open to all once a year. Wider benefits scheme including our benefits hub, which is packed full of offers and information to save you money and support your wellbeing.

Who are we?

At Thames Water, our purpose is crystal clear - to deliver life’s essential service so our customers, communities and planet can thrive. Water is life’s great leveller. Every living thing needs it, every single day. From people to plants, birds to bees, farms to factories, we all need it to thrive, and we’re committed to taking care of it for us all.

But keeping water flowing is becoming harder. From scorching summers to wetter winters, extreme weather affects everything from our pipes to our local rivers. We must keep millions more kettles boiling, public services operating, washing machines spinning, showers running and more, so every drop is more precious than ever. Are you ready to play your part?
