Maintenance Engineer
Looking for a maintenance role without 12-hour shifts or nights?
We're recruiting a Maintenance Engineer for a large, established manufacturing site in the Launceston area, offering an attractive days-based shift pattern alongside plenty of hands-on engineering work.
Working 5:00am - 2:00pm, you'll finish early enough to have your afternoons and evenings back, with no night shifts. There is also a 1 in 4 week call-out rota where you will be paid overtime at enhanced rates for any callouts.
This is a busy production environment where engineering plays a critical role in keeping the site running. You'll get involved in breakdowns, fault-finding, planned maintenance, machinery repairs and improvement work across a varied range of production equipment.
