We’re looking for an experienced Workshop Technician / Mechanical Engineer to join a specialist engineering team in Burnley, building and maintaining highly automated equipment used within the pipeline and coatings industry.
This is proper hands-on engineering.

Testing and commissioning
Design upgrades and engineering improvements
Fabrication and welding
Preventative maintenance

What We’re Looking For
Ideally, you’ll bring:
Around 5 years’ mechanical engineering experience
Strong fitting and machine-build experience
Hydraulic and pneumatic knowledge
Fabrication and welding experience
Fault diagnosis and maintenance experience
General machining skills
Ability to read engineering drawings
Basic electrical understanding
Experience working alongside Design EngineersYou’ll need to be practical, mechanically minded, safety-conscious and happy working independently or as part of a wider engineering team.
Most importantly, we want someone who gets genuine satisfaction from standing back at the end of a build and thinking:
“Yep. I built that.”
