Experienced Mechanical Fitter / Installation Engineer
SPIRAC Ltd - UK field based with regular overnight stays
SPIRAC is looking for two experienced mechanical fitters to install and refurbish wastewater treatment equipment at sites across the UK. We need people who can take on practical installation work, from a small conveyor through to a large, connected system of equipment.
These roles involve extensive travel and a significant number of nights away in hotels each month. Our fitters might work in Scotland on Monday and Tuesday, then move to a different site for the rest of the week. Applicants must be comfortable working away from home regularly; returning home every evening will not be possible.
The work
Our fitters install, refurbish and service mechanical equipment at operational wastewater sites and on construction projects. Depending on the job, this means interpreting drawings, setting out and fitting equipment, working with lifting teams and other trades, resolving practical site issues, and reporting progress to the Project Engineer.
We’re looking for people with substantial hands-on mechanical fitting and site installation experience. Successful applicants will be confident using tools and lifting equipment safely, working to method statements, and taking responsibility for the quality of their work. Wastewater industry experience is particularly welcome. Good welding skills would be an added advantage.
A full driving licence and a strong approach to site safety are essential.
