Maintenance Engineer

This is a hands-on engineering role within a high-volume, fast-moving manufacturing environment where reliability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement really matter.

You ll be working as part of a close-knit engineering team, supporting production through a mix of planned, reactive, and improvement-focused maintenance. The site is well-established, but not standing still there s ongoing investment, evolving processes, and genuine scope to influence how things are done.

We re deliberately broad on background. If you re a maintenance engineer who enjoys fault-finding, problem-solving, and getting stuck in, this could be worth exploring.

Engineers typically come from:

• Manufacturing or FMCG

• Automotive or heavy industry

• Armed forces or engineering services

You ll likely have:

• Completed a recognised engineering apprenticeship

• Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills

• The ability to read and interpret drawings and schematics

• A practical, hands-on approach on shift

Additional qualifications (HNC, IOSH/NEBOSH, CI tools, automation exposure) are useful, but not essential what matters most is attitude, capability, and how you approach problems.

That depends partly on you but typically includes:

• Planned and reactive maintenance across a varied site

• Diagnosing and resolving electrical, mechanical, and control faults

• Preventative and condition-based maintenance

• Contributing to reliability and improvement initiatives

• Supporting automation and controls when required

There s scope here to get involved beyond fixing breakdowns but how far that goes is a conversation.

• Long-term career development and progression opportunities

• A strong benefits package including bonus, pension, life assurance, and generous annual leave

• A stable, well-run site with a supportive engineering culture

If you re reading this and thinking I d like to know what the kit is, how the team s set up, and where this role could take me that s exactly the point.

Happy to share more details and answer questions in a conversation.
