Are you a mechanically biased Condition Monitoring Engineer, Reliability Engineer or Vibration Analyst with hands-on experience of rotating equipment, vibration analysis and root-cause investigation?
RecruitME is recruiting for a Condition Monitoring Engineer to improve the reliability, availability and performance of anaerobic digestion plants and gas-upgrading equipment across the UK.
This is not a desk-based reliability role.
You will work directly with maintenance engineers, plant operators and engine technicians, using condition-monitoring and predictive-maintenance techniques to identify developing faults, prevent repeat failures and reduce unplanned downtime.
The role is home-based and requires regular UK travel, so candidates should ideally live within the East Midlands or eastern England.
What’s in it for you?
Salary up to £47,500
Annual bonus
Company vehicle or car allowance
Fuel card
Private healthcare
Up to 7.5% contributory pension
33 days’ annual leave including bank holidays
Home-based role
Condition-monitoring tools and equipment provided
Opportunity to develop a multi-site predictive-maintenance programme
Varied work across renewable-energy and process plants
The Condition Monitoring Engineer role
You will be responsible for improving asset health and reducing unplanned downtime across a portfolio of operational plants.
Your duties will include:
Carrying out vibration analysis on rotating equipment
Completing thermography, oil analysis and LDAR inspections
Building and developing predictive-maintenance routes
Collecting and analysing condition-monitoring data
Identifying developing mechanical faults
Producing clear technical reports and maintenance recommendations
Leading Root Cause Analysis investigations into repeat failures
Completing FMEA assessments on critical equipment and systems
Troubleshooting mechanical faults
Supporting maintenance teams during plant breakdowns
Recommending equipment upgrades and reliability improvements
Raising maintenance actions within the CMMS
Monitoring recurring defects and corrective actions
Working closely with plant operators, maintenance engineers and engine technicians
Supporting reliability-engineering standards and best practice
Travelling regularly to anaerobic digestion and biomethane plants across the UK
Equipment you may work with
Your work may involve:
Pumps
Motors
Gearboxes
Bearings
Fans
Blowers
Compressors
Agitators
Mixers
Conveyors
Gas-upgrading equipment
Combined heat and power engines
Other rotating mechanical plant
What we are looking for
To be considered, you should have:
A strong mechanical engineering or maintenance background
Hands-on experience with rotating equipment
Practical condition-monitoring or predictive-maintenance experience
Experience carrying out vibration analysis
A recognised vibration-analysis qualification
Good knowledge of mechanical failure modes
Experience interpreting condition-monitoring data
The ability to produce accurate technical reports
Experience supporting or leading Root Cause Analysis investigations
Knowledge of FMEA or similar reliability tools
Experience using a CMMS or predictive-maintenance system
Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
Good communication and IT skills
A full UK driving licence
Flexibility to travel extensively across the UK
The ability to work independently at operational sites
Qualifications
Ideally, you will hold:
A mechanical apprenticeship or equivalent engineering experience
NVQ Level 2 or above in a mechanical discipline
BINDT or Mobius Vibration Analysis Category I or Category II
A lubrication-analysis or thermography qualification
Formal Root Cause Analysis or FMEA training
Candidates with equivalent practical experience and a recognised condition-monitoring qualification are also encouraged to apply.
Relevant industry experience
Suitable backgrounds may include:
Anaerobic digestion
Biogas
Renewable energy
Power generation
Food manufacturing
Process manufacturing
Steel
Chemicals
Petrochemicals
Oil and gas
Utilities
Heavy engineering
Continuous-process manufacturing
Previous anaerobic-digestion experience would be advantageous but is not essential where you have strong vibration-analysis and rotating-equipment experience.
Why apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Condition Monitoring Engineer who enjoys combining practical engineering, technical analysis and continuous improvement.
You will have the opportunity to shape a growing predictive-maintenance programme, work across a varied portfolio of renewable-energy plants and directly influence equipment reliability and plant availability.
The role may suit candidates based around Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Grantham, Lincoln, Newark, Peterborough, Sheffield or surrounding areas.
Apply today with an up-to-date CV for immediate consideration.
