MEICA Engineer

job description

We are looking for a qualified, time-served engineer with strong multidisciplinary MEICA experience and a high level of health and safety awareness, and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, contractors and external stakeholders, sharing expertise to support safe, resilient and sustainable asset management across NRW’s operational estate.

This role is a specialist technical position within the Operations North East Wales Directorate, supporting the management and maintenance of critical mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, and automation assets. You will ensure assets operate safely, reliably, and in line with industry standards, delivering both reactive and planned maintenance through asset management systems.

Key responsibilities include issuing and managing work programmes to contractors, monitoring performance, and ensuring timely completion of works. You will report on progress, identify risks, and provide strong fault-finding support to resolve equipment issues and minimise disruption.

The role involves managing low to moderate risk contracts, ensuring compliance with health and safety, statutory requirements, and value for money. You will also contribute to improvement and capital projects up to £50k, including design input, technical reviews, and project delivery, with a focus on flood risk assets.

You will liaise with electricity network operators, support emergency response through a standby rota, and collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders across Wales. This role suits a qualified, proactive engineer with strong MEICA expertise and a collaborative approach.

Driving is essential to this role as it requires operational site visits at remote locations not serviced by public transport and will sometimes be required to attend out of hours as part of our incident response needs. You must hold a full and current UK driving license.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to an NRW office within the place base / location above and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

Interviews will take place on 03/08/2026 through Microsoft Teams
