About the Roles

We are recruiting on behalf of a long-established, high-volume distribution and sortation operation seeking to expand its engineering team. Two opportunities are available: an Maintenance Technician and a Senior Technician.

These positions are well suited to engineers with a strong electrical bias and hands-on experience maintaining belt and roller conveyor systems in traditional, long-standing industrial environments. This isn’t a highly automated, robotics-driven site; it’s a busy, practical setting that relies on reliable maintenance to keep operations moving efficiently.

The Senior Technician role will include team leadership responsibilities, ensuring maintenance work is properly organised, the shift is fully covered, and downtime is kept to a minimum through effective coordination and communication.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out planned and reactive maintenance on conveyor and sortation systems to ensure minimal disruption to operations.
• Organise and allocate maintenance activities safely and efficiently.
• Support fault-finding and repairs on mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Ensure all maintenance documentation and reporting is completed accurately and on time.
• Identify potential faults or operational issues and take prompt corrective action.
• Liaise closely with Operations, Depot, and Control Room teams to coordinate maintenance activities.
• Maintain high standards of Health and Safety at all times.
• Ensure tools, parts, and equipment are properly maintained and stored.
• For the Senior Technician: Lead and coordinate the maintenance team during your shift.
• Ensure full shift coverage and appropriate task allocation.
• Oversee workflow, supervise maintenance standards, and ensure safe working practices.
• Provide technical guidance and support to other technicians.

About You

We’re looking for motivated and dependable technicians who take pride in their work and thrive in an environment where reliability and teamwork are key.

You should have:

• A recognised qualification in Electrical and/or Mechanical Engineering (City & Guilds or equivalent)
• A strong electrical bias with proven experience in maintenance of belt and roller conveyor systems
• Knowledge of 16th or 17th Edition wiring regulations
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematic drawings
• Experience with PLC-controlled systems (diagnostic ability)
• A flexible approach to shift work and occasional out-of-hours requirements
• Good understanding of Health & Safety legislation
• A full UK driving licence

What’s on Offer

• Competitive hourly rate, including shift premiums
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Stable, long-term employment with a well-established operation
• Supportive working environment focused on safety and reliability
• Access to wellbeing and employee support programmes
