Technical Plumbing Solutions Engineer

At Scitex, we’re proud to be partnering with a global leader in fluid management systems – to recruit a standout Technical Plumbing Solutions Engineer.

This is a rare opportunity for someone with hands-on plumbing experience and strong technical acumen to step into a nationally influential role.

We’re looking for a mechanical engineer with plumbing project experience or a seasoned plumber who’s worked on large-scale developments and is ready to move into a customer-facing technical advisory position.

What the role looks like:
In this unique position, you’ll become the trusted advisor for plumbing systems across New Zealand. You’ll apply your practical knowledge to:

• Troubleshoot issues and provide expert guidance on product application
• Lead investigations into customer concerns and develop solutions
• Deliver technical training to both internal staff and external stakeholders
• Support certification and compliance efforts (e.g. BRANZ, Codemark)
• Contribute to product development and create design resources/tools

It’s a role with real variety — from office-based work preparing reports or manuals, to time on-site with customers, and involvement in shaping the next generation of plumbing products.

What you’ll bring:

• Background in mechanical engineering or plumbing, ideally with major project exposure
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with a range of stakeholders
• Solid technical understanding of piping systems, installations or water movement
• Interest in training, continuous improvement, and influencing product outcomes
• A relevant trade or engineering qualification

If you enjoy solving complex problems, can translate technical details into practical solutions, and want to step off the tools while still staying close to industry, this could be a great fit for you.

What’s on offer?

• A technically engaging, relationship-driven role with national influence
• Long-term opportunity with a stable, global business
• Variety, flexibility, and the chance to work across product, customer and regulatory touchpoints
• Competitive package and ongoing professional growth
