Job description

An established manufacturing business based in Telford is looking to recruit an experienced Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join its engineering team due to a forecoming retirement.

THE ROLE

Working as part of a small engineering team, you will be responsible for electrical and mechanical maintenance across machinery and the wider site.

Responsibilities will include:

• Electrical maintenance and fault finding on manufacturing machinery
• General site and facilities maintenance
• Mechanical maintenance and fault finding
• Working with Allen Bradley PLCs, including both newer and legacy systems
• Signing off trainee electrical work

A full driving licence is preferred as the business continues to acquire additional sites and there may be occasions where equipment needs to be transported or set up.

Friday: 8:00am - 4:00pm

There is some flexibility around the working hours where required.

The role also includes a call-out requirement, typically one weekend per month. Call-outs are paid separately, with a call-out fee plus time and a half.

• Monday to Friday, days-based working
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Holiday entitlement increases by 1 day per year for the first 5 years
