Hours: Monday-Friday | 40 Hours | Days Only

The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for an Extrusion Maintenance Engineer to join an established manufacturing business that is currently experiencing significant investment and growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out reactive breakdown maintenance and fault finding.
• Complete planned preventative maintenance across production equipment.
• Maintain and repair blown and cast extrusion machinery.
• Diagnose electrical and mechanical faults.
• Replace and repair components where required.
• Minimise production downtime and improve equipment reliability.
• Support maintenance of associated production equipment.
• Work closely with production and engineering colleagues.
• Maintain high standards of health and safety.

About You

The ideal candidate will have experience working as a Maintenance Engineer within a manufacturing or production environment.

You should have:

• Strong electrical and/or mechanical maintenance experience.
• Experience with reactive breakdown and planned maintenance.
• Good fault-finding and diagnostic ability.
• A hands-on and proactive approach.
• The ability to work independently and within a small engineering team.
• Experience working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Experience with extrusion machinery or plastics manufacturing would be advantageous, but engineers from other manufacturing backgrounds will also be considered.

The Environment

This is a busy, hands-on manufacturing environment with a high level of engineering activity. Some of the equipment is older and can be unreliable, meaning there is a significant reactive maintenance element to the position.

The role would suit an engineer who enjoys diagnosing faults, working on machinery and being hands-on, rather than someone looking for a predominantly planned maintenance position.
