• Coaching, mentoring and developing your engineers and supervisors
• Working closely with operations to minimise downtime and improve performance
• Managing contractors, spares and maintenance budgets

What we are looking for

• Proven experience as a Maintenance Manager or Engineering Manager in a process environment
• Strong mechanical background with good electrical understanding
• Experience with a range of plant, conveyors, mobile plant etc
• A hands-on leader who earns respect on the shop floor
• Comfortable using CMMS and data to drive decisions
• IOSH or similar safety qualification
• Apprentice trained with HNC, HND, NVQ Level 4 or above in engineering
• Someone who enjoys improving standards, systems and people

Why this role

• Strong focus on safety, investment and continuous improvement
• Stable site with a long term future
• Opportunity to build a high performing maintenance culture
