We test flow meters, the devices that measure how much liquid or gas is moving through a pipe. To do this, we build large test setups from pipes, valves and pumps, run the tests, then take everything apart for the next job.
We're looking for a practical, hands-on labourer to help our engineers and fitters keep this running. You don't need lab experience. If you've worked somewhere practical and you're comfortable with tools, we'll train you in the rest.
What you'll do
- Help build and dismantle test setups made from pipework, valves and meters
- Fit and remove customers' equipment before and after testing
- Get tools, bolts, seals and parts ready for each job
- Move heavy equipment safely, using cranes and forklifts once trained
- Help with routine maintenance on pumps, valves and pipes
- Help check for leaks and pressure-test pipework, under supervision
- Spot and report damage or faults
- Keep workshops and test areas clean and organised
- Fill in simple checklists and records
When testing is quieter, you'll work through planned maintenance and tidying jobs.
What we're looking for
- Experience in a hands-on role, such as workshop, factory, construction, maintenance or warehouse work
- Comfortable using hand tools and doing physical work
- Safety-conscious and happy to follow procedures
- Reliable, organised and takes pride in a tidy job
- Works well in a team and communicates clearly
- Keen to learn new skills
It's a bonus if you have
- Experience with pipes, valves or pumps
- Forklift, crane or slinging tickets
- The ability to read basic technical drawings
- Experience working on a site with formal safety permit
