Up to £48k + Bonus + Benefits

South East - Permanent Ref: ABJ6482A

A well-established SME manufacturing organisation is seeking an electrically biased maintenance engineer (approx. 60% electrical / 40% mechanical) to support its production facility. The company operates large-scale industrial machinery serving sectors including defence and offshore energy.

This role would suit a hands‑on engineer with strong electrical maintenance expertise, particularly in the maintenance, fault‑finding and repair of AC and DC motors and industrial electrical systems, alongside solid mechanical maintenance capability.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will support both planned preventive and reactive maintenance programmes to maximise plant reliability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). With in‑house design and manufacturing expertise, the company offers long‑term stability and career development within a well‑established engineering environment.
