Pump Technician

A pump breaking down can shut down an entire production line. You make sure that doesn't happen. As a pump technician, you overhaul, align and inspect industrial pumps — mostly in the workshop, occasionally on-site. Precision work with direct impact, on a day shift, with an hourly rate that grows with your experience.

You'll join a technical service provider specialised in maintaining pump installations for the process and industrial sector. The work is all about reliability: equipment that has to keep running safely and without failure at the client's site. You'll work in a small, close-knit team of skilled technicians where knowledge of pumps and mechanics comes first. Most of the work happens in the workshop; occasionally you'll head out to resolve an issue or finish a job on-site.

As a pump technician, you're responsible for the overhaul, alignment and inspection of industrial pumps. You disassemble pumps, assess the condition of components, replace what's needed and rebuild everything with precision. Alignment is precision work — a small deviation can significantly shorten an installation's lifespan. You test and check your own work before it goes back out. Most of your work takes place in the workshop; occasionally you'll join a job on-site to overhaul, align or inspect a pump there.
