You’ll be joining a small engineering team where you can get hands‑on with the equipment, take ownership of maintenance activities and contribute to improvements across the site. There’s also the opportunity to expand your knowledge in areas such as automation, mechatronics and 3D printing.

If you’re a mechanically or electrically biased Maintenance Engineer looking for a better work‑life balance without putting your development on hold, this is worth a look.

Why join?

• £42,000 salary with a Monday–Friday, day‑shift‑only working pattern.

• No nights or weekends – enjoy a more predictable routine outside work.

• Training and development – build your skills in automation, mechatronics and emerging manufacturing technologies, including 3D printing.

• Small engineering team – get hands‑on with machinery and play an active role in keeping the site running.

• Innovation and improvement – join an established manufacturing business that invests in technology, operational efficiency and developing new ideas.

• Varied engineering work – balance planned maintenance, breakdown response, projects and continuous improvement.

The business has built its success around long‑term customer relationships, investing in modern manufacturing capabilities and continually improving how it operates. With a collaborative culture and a focus on developing expertise, it offers an environment where engineers can contribute ideas and broaden their technical knowledge.

About the role

As Maintenance Engineer, you’ll help ensure plant and equipment remain safe, reliable and efficient.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) to minimise downtime.

• Responding to breakdowns, fault‑finding and completing repairs.

• Diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults to identify root causes.

• Supporting engineering projects, equipment upgrades and modifications.

• Identifying opportunities to improve reliability, efficiency and maintenance processes.

• Working safely at all times, following site procedures and safe isolation requirements, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO).

About you

We’re looking for a practical, hands‑on engineer who enjoys fault‑finding and wants to continue developing their technical skills.

You’ll need:

• A recognised engineering qualification.

• A mechanical or electrical engineering background; either bias will be considered.

• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial or similar engineering environment.

• The ability to diagnose faults and carry out maintenance and repairs.

• A strong understanding of safe working practices and the ability to follow LOTO procedures correctly.

• A proactive approach to problem‑solving, teamwork and continuous improvement.
