Summary

Join a team where no two days look the same.
System Hydraulics Ltd is searching for a driven, hands‑on engineer with a passion for hydraulic systems and real‑world problem‑solving. If you enjoy working with high‑pressure hydraulic equipment, complex fluid‑power systems, and innovative engineering solutions, you’ll fit right in. Experience in pneumatics, automation, or robotics is a bonus, but full training will be provided for the successful candidate.

Founded in 1994 and based in Carlisle, we’ve grown into a globally recognised engineering partner, trusted across the UK for our technical expertise and world‑class service.

In this role, you’ll be at the centre of our hydraulic engineering operations. Your work will include supporting installation projects, resolving hydraulic system breakdowns, and delivering planned and preventative maintenance nationwide. It’s a position suited to someone who thrives on variety, enjoys technical challenges, and isn’t afraid to get stuck in on-site.

Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will involve installing, commissioning, and servicing hydraulic systems; diagnosing and repairing mechanical faults across hydraulic and pneumatic equipment; carrying out scheduled maintenance and responding to emergency breakdowns; supporting pneumatic, mechanical, and fluid‑power projects; and delivering technical solutions to a wide range of industrial clients.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring experience from industrial or engineering environments, a solid understanding of hydraulic systems, confidence in managing multiple tasks and priorities, and working knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics. Experience with automation or robotics is beneficial but not essential, as training will be provided.

This is a full‑time, permanent position.

We offer stable employment, bespoke training and development, a company pension, a company van for on‑site servicing, on‑site parking, sick pay, overtime opportunities, and the chance to work on national and global projects.
