• Respond promptly to breakdowns, using diagnostic tools and technical drawings to pinpoint faults and resolve issues quickly.
• Work under pressure to get machinery operational again while maintaining safety and quality standards.
• Work closely with production teams to coordinate maintenance activities with minimal disruption.
• Provide detailed shift handovers, updating colleagues on completed work, temporary fixes, or upcoming maintenance needs.
• Compliance & Standards
• Ensure all maintenance work meets health, safety, hygiene, and quality requirements.
• Support internal audits and maintain accurate maintenance logs, job cards, and inventory records.
• Suggest and implement improvements to boost equipment reliability, efficiency, and safety.
• Contribute to new product and process trials, working alongside engineers to integrate new technologies.

What Youll Bring

• Level 3 NVQ (Electrical or Mechanical) or equivalent multi-skilled apprenticeship
• Ideally 17th/18th Edition electrical qualification
• Experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Skills in HVAC, PLCs, and local exhaust ventilation (preferred)
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical diagrams
• Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities
• A proactive, safety-conscious mindset and excellent teamworking skills
• Competitive salary with role-specific bonuses
• Company pension and benefits scheme
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
