Key duties include executing condition‑based monitoring such as thermography, vibration analysis, ultrasound emission and oil analysis, reporting findings via the asset management platform, analysing data and producing corrective maintenance plans, and performing root‑cause analysis on complex equipment failures.
Employees are expected to participate in out‑of‑hours incident support rotations as part of the incident support team, with flexibility considered where possible.
The position of CBM Engineer (Route‑Based) is permanent, full‑time and offers up to £48,000 depending on experience. It is a 37‑hour week role based in Sussex, requiring travel to various sites or office work. A valid driving licence is essential and a company van with tools will be provided.
The role demands strong experience in analysing, designing, operating or managing assets, excellent stakeholder engagement and communication, the ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines, and a logical, analytical mindset with a flexible, collaborative working style.
Technical expertise should cover vibration analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasonic testing and oil analysis, alongside reliability techniques (RCM, FMECA), predictive maintenance strategies and an understanding of predictive analytics, machine learning and failure prediction models; wastewater knowledge is desirable.
Candidates must be able to identify risks, develop resolution plans and adhere to statutory requirements and compliance standards.
Preferred qualifications include ISO‑18436 accredited training in vibration, infrared imaging, ultrasonic testing and oil analysis; candidates willing to undertake training will also be considered. An ONC or OND in engineering or equivalent industry experience is desirable.
Interviews will be held the week commencing 1 December. Southern Water promotes a purpose‑driven culture that offers personal growth, professional development and the chance to contribute to a fair, positive future while supporting 24/7 incident response for water services.
