Job description

Maintenance Technician.

West Midlands (M6 corridor).

£32.57 per hour (Contract role).

My aerospace manufacturing client is a 'first class' Fortune 250 company, who has a diverse product range; developing cutting-edge systems for the aerospace industry. They are a progressive organisation, employing 9,000 people across 37 manufacturing facilities globally and having recently merged with another aerospace giant. This is truly an exciting time to join them, as they embark on their next chapter of growth.

As an organisation, they house some of the best talent within their industry; all attracted to the business by its outstanding reputation and the investment they make in the training and development of their people. Does this sound like the type of company that can offer you the secure prospects you are seeking?

Working on a contract basis and as an integral part of the maintenance team, you will facilitate the effective and efficient maintenance of plant. The key responsibilities for your new role as a Maintenance Technician are as follows:

1. Make corrective repairs to CNC machines, plant and equipment.
2. Ensure the highest priority is given to the safety and well-being of operators, maintenance personnel and third parties in the vicinity, during equipment maintenance.
3. Implement planned corrective maintenance in a scheduled equipment shutdown situation.
4. Support cell operations by providing agreed preparation and training in first-line maintenance procedures.
5. Provide an installation and refurbishment service for plant equipment, as required, to facilitate the continual improvement of company assets.
6. Promote continuous improvement in overall plant operations by reducing downtime on repeated breakdowns.
7. Train and advise other maintenance team members, as appropriate.
8. Operate in compliance with company Health, Safety and Environmental policies and Quality procedures.
9. Carry out special duties, as assigned.

Minimum Requirements:
In an ideal world, my client would like to find someone with a City & Guilds (or equivalent) or an Apprenticeship completed within a suitable field, and who has knowledge of the electrical and mechanical repairs of CNC machinery. Knowledge of plant equipment and services is essential - for example, fault-finding and understanding and working from machine and plant drawings/manuals.

In return, my client is offering a salary of £32.57 per hour (plus an additional shift premium after training is completed and you move on to rotating shifts), for a 37 hour week. Initially starting on days, the role will then move onto a rotating shift pattern of earlies and lates with three weeks on and two weeks off and you will receive a 14% shift premium when working a late shift. The working hours are as follows:

1. Morning shift - 6am - 2pm on Monday to Thursday and 6am - 12.45pm on Friday.
2. Afternoon shift - 2pm - 10.15pm on Monday to Thursday and 2pm - 6.15pm on Friday.

The company is easily accessible from Coventry, Birmingham, Northampton, Leicester and the surrounding areas, and the area offers sensibly priced accommodation and a variety of lifestyle options to suit every taste.
