Carrying out electrical and mechanical fault finding, diagnostics and repairs on manufacturing equipment

Responding to machinery breakdowns and minimising production downtime

Completing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance

Acting as the senior engineering point of contact during your shift

Supporting and guiding other engineers and coordinating maintenance priorities

Identifying recurring equipment failures and conducting root cause analysis (RCA)

Improving machinery reliability, equipment efficiency and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

Maintaining accurate maintenance records using a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS)

Supporting engineering projects, new machinery installations and continuous improvement activities

Working closely with production teams to reduce breakdowns, waste and operating costs

Supporting engineering stores and spare parts management

Maintaining high standards of health and safety, including PUWER, LOLER and DSEAR compliance

What Were Looking For

An engineering apprenticeship or relevant qualification such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, HNC or equivalent

A proactive approach to health and safety, problem-solving and engineering improvements

You should be comfortable working independently, making decisions under pressure and taking responsibility for engineering performance during your shift.

Youll be joining a business that recognises the value of experienced engineers, invests in its people and provides the autonomy to make meaningful improvements.

With a salary of up to £60,000, a structured 4 on 4 off rota, excellent employee benefits and genuine opportunities for professional development, its an attractive opportunity for an engineer looking to progress their career without moving away from hands-on engineering.
