Skills & Experience

The successful candidate should have:

• Proven experience with Reverse Osmosis and water-treatment systems.
• Strong knowledge of RO maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Experience with AQSEP RO units preferred.
• Experience with PLC-controlled systems.
• Good knowledge of VFD drives and motor control systems.

The Ideal Candidate

Our client is looking for someone who is technically capable, practical, resourceful, and hands-on — someone who can look at a system, understand how it works, identify a fault, and physically carry out the necessary work to resolve it.

Experience across water treatment, desalination, swimming pools, spas/jacuzzis, plumbing, electrical controls, and mechanical systems would be highly advantageous.

Previous experience as a Marine Engineer having worked in yachting/naval/cruise line environments would be good, but other sectors such as resorts, hospitality, utilities, water-treatment, or industrial environment would also be an advantage. This is a great opportunity to become an integral part of an expanding team where you can further develop professionally.
