Duties of a Maintenance Technician

As a Shift Maintenance Technician, you’ll work within a small but effective team that has been with us for many years, operating within a well‑structured maintenance department. You’ll be responsible for both planned and reactive maintenance across our clean and well‑laid‑out plant, so experience in supporting plastic moulding plant and equipment is essential.

Requirements of a Maintenance Technician

As a maintenance technician you must hold formal electrical qualifications and be apprentice trained. You must have proven experience of supporting plastic moulding plant, which ideally includes PLC controls and robots within a manufacturing, process or production environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to progress your career in a company that rarely recruits and offers the security of a stable and consistent working environment, supporting well looked‑after plant and equipment rarely found in other areas of engineering.

The Maintenance Technician role is commutable from Tamworth, Cannock and Lichfield.

Candidates must have the right to live and work in the UK.
