Keep the wheels turning. Literally.

We're hiring a Maintenance Engineer to support a fast-paced, precision-driven CNC manufacturing environment. This isn't just about fixing what's broken - it's about keeping things running, preventing downtime, and ensuring production never skips a beat.

If you know CNC machines inside out and thrive on being the go-to for fault-finding and fix-it-fast solutions, this one's for you.

What You'll Be Doing Day-to-day

• Diagnosing faults on CNC machinery (fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain control systems ideal)
• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) on a variety of turning and milling centres
• Responding rapidly to breakdowns to keep production on track
• Replacing mechanical components like spindles, bearings, actuators, etc.
• Handling minor electrical repairs - sensors, relays, safety circuits
• Supporting installations and upgrades of production machinery
• Keeping accurate maintenance logs and tracking parts usage
• Working with production to schedule maintenance around workloads
• Liaising with OEMs when required, or escalating deeper technical issues
  
  

What You've Likely Done Before

• Worked in a CNC machine shop or precision engineering environment
• Been the "go-to" person for machine downtime
• Rebuilt a machine bed or swapped a ballscrew in your time
• Diagnosed a fault using schematics (and maybe your ear) before the diagnostics panel caught up
• Balanced time between firefighting and scheduled servicing
• Managed your own spares stock or had strong input into it
• Played a part in reducing unplanned downtime - and have the stats to show it
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Time-served mechanical engineer or maintenance technician
• Strong CNC fault-finding and repair skills (especially mechanical)
• Familiarity with Fanuc / Siemens / Heidenhain controls
• Confident reading mechanical and basic electrical schematics
• Comfortable working independently and managing priorities
• Someone who takes pride in keeping machines humming and the lights green
  
  

What's in it for you?

• A stable role in a well-established site
• The freedom to make an impact (we're big on ownership)
• Clean, tidy shopfloor environment with modern machinery
• Strong engineering support network
• Day shift hours and a team that pulls together
  
  

Don't just fix machines - keep production flowing and quality high.

If you're a mechanical-minded problem solver who knows your way around CNC machines, we'd love to hear from you.
