MULTI-SKILLED MAINTENANCE MANAGER

Location: Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Salary: £49,000 - £52,000 per annum (depending on experience)

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Industry: Manufacturing

10 Recruitment are working with an established manufacturing business in Huddersfield who are looking to appoint an experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Manager to oversee and develop their engineering and maintenance function.

This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody who combines strong technical engineering knowledge with the ability to lead a team, improve maintenance processes and ensure production machinery operates reliably.

We're particularly interested in speaking with Maintenance Managers who have progressed from a hands-on engineering background and are still comfortable getting involved technically when required.

This isn't a position for somebody who wants to sit behind a desk all day. We're looking for somebody who enjoys being involved with the machinery, supporting engineers and taking ownership of the maintenance function.

THE ROLE

• Oversee the day-to-day maintenance function across a busy manufacturing facility.
• Lead, support and develop the engineering and maintenance team.
• Plan, implement and continuously improve preventative maintenance schedules.
• Ensure machinery breakdowns are responded to efficiently, minimising disruption to production.
• Provide technical support across both mechanical and electrical maintenance activities.
• Identify recurring machinery issues and implement long-term solutions.
• Drive improvements in plant reliability, machinery performance and maintenance efficiency.
• Coordinate engineering projects, machinery installations and equipment upgrades.
• Manage external contractors and engineering suppliers where required.
• Oversee spare parts, maintenance resources and engineering expenditure.
• Work closely with production management to plan maintenance around operational requirements.
• Ensure engineering activities comply with relevant health and safety procedures.
• Maintain a practical, hands-on approach and support the team with more complex engineering issues.
• Help develop a proactive maintenance culture, moving away from reactive breakdowns wherever possible.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Previous experience as a Maintenance Manager, Engineering Manager, Maintenance Supervisor or Senior Maintenance Engineer.
• A strong multi-skilled engineering background, with mechanical and electrical maintenance knowledge.
• Experience managing maintenance activities within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• A solid understanding of PPM systems, breakdown management and continuous improvement.
• Experience supporting, supervising or developing engineering teams.
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience working with industrial production machinery, motors, drives, gearboxes, hydraulics and pneumatics.
• The ability to balance planned maintenance, reactive breakdowns and longer-term improvement projects.
• A practical, approachable leadership style with a willingness to remain involved on the shop floor.
• Somebody who can take ownership, identify areas for improvement and implement positive changes.
• Experience within textiles, weaving, continuous production or machinery-intensive manufacturing would be highly advantageous.
• However, we would also welcome applications from experienced engineering professionals across other manufacturing sectors.
• We would also be interested in speaking with strong Maintenance Supervisors or Lead Engineers who feel ready to take the next step into a management position.

WHAT'S ON OFFER?

• Salary of £49,000 - £52,000 per annum, dependent on experience.
• Permanent management opportunity within an established manufacturing business.
• Opportunity to take ownership of the maintenance function.
• Scope to improve maintenance systems, machinery reliability and engineering performance.
• A varied role combining technical engineering and people management.
• Long-term career opportunity.
