Maintenance Engineer

I'm looking for a solid maintenance engineer who knows how to keep a factory moving. Someone who can respond fast to breakdowns, fault‑find properly, and fix issues right the first time — not patch them up and walk away.

This site has seen multi‑million‑pound investment and upgrades. Newer equipment, improved systems and higher expectations. I need engineers who can work to that level and help drive performance, not just react to problems.

You'll be part of the production support team, working closely with engineering leadership and production to keep availability high, downtime low and standards where they should be.

You will provide a responsive, professional engineering service that supports production and protects performance.

• Respond quickly and safely to plant stoppages and breakdowns
• Fault‑find and repair machinery across electrical and mechanical systems
• Work on single‑phase and three‑phase electrical systems
• Maintain, adjust and service equipment to keep it running at optimum performance
• Complete planned preventative maintenance within your competence
• Improve equipment availability and performance to support OEE targets
• Identify recurring faults and implement long‑term improvements
• Work with engineering leadership and external engineers on complex issues
• Accurately record labour and parts using the PPM system (SAP)
• Complete documentation properly and report non‑conformances immediately
• Support training and assessment of operators and colleagues on machine operation

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent)
• Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving ability
• AbleERT working under pressure and make sound decisions
• Good communication skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Delivers quality work and takes ownership

If you're looking for a company which prioritise their own engineers, and promote within, then get in touch and we can discuss further.
