Join Allianz Engineering—part of one of the world’s leading insurers as a home‑based Mechanical Engineer. This is a dynamic and rewarding new opportunity to be part of an industry leader.

As an Engineering Technician, you will:

• Conduct thorough inspections of a diverse range of mechanical plant equipment—from loose lifting gear to submersible pumps and fixed motors—to ensure ongoing safety and operational integrity.
• Proactively support clients in meeting compliance requirements by anticipating their needs and guiding them through relevant legislation.
• Collaborate closely with fellow Engineering Technicians under the guidance of a Senior Operations Team Leader, fostering a strong team dynamic.
• Utilise electronic reporting tools to deliver prompt, accurate inspection results, ensuring a seamless experience for our clients.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of all relevant compliance standards, regulations, and procedures related to the inspection of mechanical plant equipment.

This position is a vital part of our operations, involving hands‑on, non‑intrusive inspections of plant and equipment across your designated area. What sets this role apart is its variety—you’ll visit sites, gaining access to environments most people never see. The Engineering Technician role can be physically demanding and may require working at height, in confined spaces, lifting, and climbing in both hot and cold conditions. It involves exposure to noise and dust, so you need to be happy being in a hands‑on environment.
