Mechanical Maintenance Engineer

Mechanical Maintenance Engineer We're recruiting on behalf of our client for an experienced, mechanically biased Maintenance Engineer to join their established engineering team at a manufacturing facility commutable from Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Hull.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Mechanical Maintenance Engineer who enjoys preventative maintenance, mechanical fault finding and working on specialist manufacturing equipment within a modern production environment.

The successful candidate will join a business that values engineering quality, preventative maintenance, forward planning and continuous improvement. This role would particularly suit an engineer with strong mechanical skills who enjoys diagnosing machinery faults, understanding the root cause of failures and delivering effective, long-term repairs.

Salary: £41,000, with enhanced overtime paid at £30.00 per hour. Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 6:00am–2:30pm. The Role This is predominantly a preventative maintenance role, with approximately 70% planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and 30% reactive breakdown response.

As a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining, repairing and improving a range of specialist manufacturing and production equipment to maximise machine reliability and minimise downtime. The role will involve a strong mechanical focus, including the maintenance of rotating equipment, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, lifting systems and associated production machinery.

Some electrical fault finding will also be required, although the primary emphasis will be on mechanical maintenance and repair. This opportunity would particularly suit a methodical engineer who takes a logical, analytical approach to maintenance, enjoys investigating mechanical failures and takes pride in completing repairs accurately rather than simply replacing components.

Key Responsibilities Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across a wide range of manufacturing and production equipment. Respond efficiently to machinery breakdowns, diagnosing and resolving predominantly mechanical faults to minimise production downtime.

Undertake mechanical repairs, maintenance and component replacements across specialist manufacturing machinery. Maintain and repair equipment including: High-pressure water jetting machines. Gearboxes and drive assemblies.

Pumps and associated pipework. Vacuum lifting systems. Conveyors and material handling equipment. Associated production machinery and mechanical systems. Carry out mechanical strip-downs, inspections, rebuilds and component fitting.

Diagnose faults involving bearings, shafts, couplings, belts, chains, seals and rotating equipment. Undertake precision engineering work, ensuring repairs are completed accurately using correct torque settings, engineering tolerances and manufacturer specifications. Read and inter...
