dependent on experience
Our client is a growing, highly regarded swimming

specialist servicing, maintenance and repair services to high-end residential
clients.
They are specifically interested in hearing from
former Armed Forces personnel with an electrical background who are looking to
transfer their technical skills into a specialist civilian engineering career.
No previous swimming pool experience is required.
If you have a recognised electrical inspection and
testing qualification, together with the discipline, reliability and
problem-solving ability developed during your military career, our client will
provide the specialist training required to develop you into a fully competent
Swimming Pool Service Engineer.
This is an excellent opportunity for a veteran
engineer looking for a varied, autonomous field engineering position with
long-term career prospects.
The Role
Working independently in the field, you will visit
customer sites across Wiltshire, Swindon, the Cotswolds and surrounding M4
corridor, servicing and maintaining swimming pool equipment and plant rooms.
Following comprehensive training, your
responsibilities will include:
- Inspecting, testing, fault-finding and repairing
electrical control panels, pumps, dosing systems, electric heaters, UV systems
and automated pool controls.

mechanical maintenance.

equipment.
- Conducting water testing and chemical balancing.
