About Our Opportunity:

As a Maintenance Engineer at EMR Oldbury, you will be part of a team ensuring that the plant is running at an optimum level, minimising downtime and achieving all internal maintenance demands in an effective and timely manner.

What you will be doing:
Our maintenance team members are significant to our depots; without their knowledge and experience in reactive and planned maintenance, we could come to a standstill. You could be performing a range of maintenance activities to ensure the plant runs efficiently. Previous experience of working in a heavy industrial environment would be beneficial.
Some other duties you would take on are:

1. Perform mechanical maintenance and repairs on machinery and services.
2. Operate machinery safely after training, including start-ups and shutdowns.
3. Ensure equipment safety and report malfunctions promptly.
4. Support continuous improvement by liaising with production teams.
5. Complete dynamic risk assessments and address defects.

About you:
• Time-served Mechanical Fitter/Engineer.
• Experience in manufacturing or processing industries.
• Strong problem-solving skills and familiarity with PPM systems.
• Knowledge of dynamic risk assessments and team briefings.
• Level 3 apprenticeship or equivalent qualification.
• Welding and fabrication experience required.

Who we are:
‘Our purpose is to create a future where the materials we use don’t need to be extracted from the planet.’

At EMR, we give new life to unwanted materials. Every year, we recycle 10 million tonnes of metals and plastics, saving 19 million tonnes of carbon from entering the Earth’s atmosphere, diverting waste from landfill and protecting resources and habitats.

We couldn’t do any of this without our team members. In return for all they do, we do everything we can to create an environment of belonging, value, support and growth.

We’re proud to have achieved Great Place To Work status, but it’s about so much more than a badge. It’s about being recognised by our people for the continuous work we do to do better for them:

‘The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.’

‘I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.’

‘I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.’

‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility and hard work.’
