Permanent Day Shift - Up to 45K + OT
Sheffield

Metalis engineering are currently supporting a well-established manufacturing business based in Sheffield, who are seeking an experienced Electrically Biased Maintenance Engineer to join their close-knit team on a permanent days shift

Hours are: Mon-Thurs 07:00-16:00, Fri 07:00-12:30pm

This is a hands-on, all-round position reporting directly to the production manager. You'll be the go-to maintenance person on-site, so the ability to work autonomously and turn your hand to a wide range of tasks is essential. The previous maintenance engineer was in the role for over 11 years.

What They're Looking For:

• Strong electrical bias - must be comfortable fault-finding and repairing across a range of electrical systems.
• Minimum of 17th Edition, ideally 18th Edition. Company can upskill from 17th to 18th.
• Electrical testing experience would be advantageous.
• Must be comfortable with both electrical and mechanical work - changing motors, fault-finding, wiring sockets/lights, and general mechanical repairs.
• Hands-on mindset - the business needs someone who'll get stuck in, whether it's fixing a CNC machine or repairing a door.
• Ideally looking for someone with apprenticeship background (electrical biased) and stable work history.
• Previous experience with PPMs, reactive maintenance, and minor project work.
• Open to background (steel, general manufacturing, etc.) but must have strong plant/factory maintenance experience.

Salary & Benefits:

Up to 45,000 basic depending on experience.

• Overtime paid at:
  
  
• Time and a half after standard hours.
• Time and a half Saturdays.
• Double time Sundays/bank holidays.

4.5 day working week - early Friday finish (12:30pm).

• Pension scheme and holiday allowance.
• Stable and friendly working environment - very low staff turnover.
• You'll be joining a company that values its team - not just a number here.

Ideal Candidate:

An experienced maintenance engineer, probably who wants to get off shifts, have work-life balance, and join a company that genuinely values their contribution. Someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and taking ownership of site maintenance.

If you believe you have the right skills and background, don't miss this rare opportunity, the previous person was in the role for over 11 years. Apply today with your CV, and one of our specialist recruiters will be in touch to discuss the next steps.
