Job description

Based at our plant at Larkfield, our new Maintenance Engineer will ensure our clinical waste availability is optimised for all sites in the South West region: Telford, Avonmouth, Bridgend, and Bournemouth. You’ll contribute to the forward planning of engineering works, providing first-line planned maintenance and troubleshooting repairs for plant machinery at our facilities.

We are looking for a very organised individual who takes pride in the work they do and is available for on-call duties for other sites in the region. A company van is provided for this!

Specifically, your role will involve:

1. Being fully conversant with all maintenance/engineering aspects of the plant
2. Control of spare part storage and ordering
3. Working closely with shift supervisors and managers to co-ordinate the inspection of plant/equipment and carry out repairs/testing as required, which does not conflict with plant operations/scheduled work
4. Working in conjunction with engineering colleagues and other departments to co-ordinate and maintain site documentation, as well as review and contribute to the development of the maintenance programme

As Mechanical Maintenance Technician/Engineer, you will:

1. Have experience in all aspects of mechanical equipment and processes, including welding, fabrication, pneumatics, and hydraulics, plus relevant formal engineering qualifications
2. Be able to work to tight deadlines and prioritise work according to plant requirements
3. Have the ability to diagnose problems and deliver on-time solutions
4. Be willing to deputise for the Shift Supervisor when required; therefore, supervisory skills would be preferred
5. Have good communication and organisation skills

Any industrial plant experience and engineering qualifications would be a distinct advantage.

In return, we can promise you a first-class opportunity in a quality-driven business, where the rewards will fully reflect your endeavour, in the form of a competitive salary, 5 weeks holidays, and an excellent range of benefits.
