How to Become a Swimming Pool Service Engineer?

Answer 1

It’s undeniable that being around Swimming Pools all day could be a lot of fun, if perhaps you were swimming in them. But, a swimming pool engineer must train hard and keep their knowledge and expertise up to speed. If this is a job that appeals to you, then you will need to consider the following before applying for a job:

Step 1. It often depends on the country you are in as to what the specific job requirements are. But, often employers will look for someone who has a background in one or more of the following areas: water treatment, heating ventilation or air conditioning, electrical or mechanical maintenance.

Step 2. If the company you’re looking at working for, work on powered gas Pool Heating systems, you will need to take examinations and tests in order to become a member of your countries’ associated gas body or organizations. So you should get qualified before applying to jobs which require such qualifications.

Step 3. You may need to take further examinations from the Institute of Pool Engineer’s (in the UK), or the relevant organization in your own country. Home study courses can be offered, and following on from passing the exams you will gain certification in: constructions, heating, filtration and chemicals.

Step 4. It may be that you are applying to a job that requires a certain amount of diving experience. If you don’t have any experience diving, we would recommend you get your PADI diving certificate before applying. Research if your local diving center offers these courses, and what the associated costs are. Or perhaps take a PADI course whilst you’re away on holiday.

Finally, to summarize a swimming pool service engineer can be a very exciting and varied job where no two days are the same. If you are interested in this job, it’s best to contact your local career’s advisory service or do some further research online as the requirements will change from time to time.
