About the role

Sulzer’s Wexford site is a centre of excellence for wastewater pump technology. As a Test Engineer you will support product development, introduction and continuous technology projects by turning design concepts into robust, compliant products used worldwide.

Key responsibilities

• Perform hydraulic performance testing including flow, head, efficiency and NPSH.
• Execute mechanical and electrical testing such as vibration, noise and motor performance.
• Carry out electrical safety testing (dielectric, insulation resistance, leakage current).
• Test pumps under simulated wastewater conditions, including solids handling, clogging, wear and lifetime performance.
• Project‑manage global testing requirements, aligning strategies, resources and timelines with international teams.
• Conduct performance, safety and compliance testing in line with ISO, EN, IEC, Hydraulic Institute, CSA/UL and FM standards.
• Produce regulatory‑compliant test plans, protocols and reports for certification submissions.
• Support third‑party audits and inspections, including CSA assessments.
• Analyse test data to identify trends, deviations or non‑conformities and recommend corrective actions.
