Job description

Electrically Biased Multi-Skilled Engineer

Boston, Lincolnshire | £52,500 | 4 on / 4 off Days & Nights | Permanent

If you're an electrically biased Multi-Skilled Engineer who enjoys fault finding, solving problems and working on a varied range of production machinery, this could be a very good next move.

I'm recruiting for a well-established manufacturing business in Boston, Lincolnshire, looking for an engineer to join an experienced maintenance team supporting a busy production site.

The role offers £52,500, a popular 4 on / 4 off days and nights shift pattern, and the stability of a permanent position with a business that continues to invest in its operation.

Your electrical skills will be a big part of the role, but you'll also need to be comfortable getting involved with mechanical maintenance when required.

What you'll be doing

• Responding to electrical and mechanical breakdowns

• Electrical fault finding across production machinery

• Fault finding on PLC-controlled equipment

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance

• Diagnosing and repairing mechanical faults

• Working with production teams to reduce downtime

• Identifying recurring faults and improving equipment reliability

• Completing maintenance records and engineering documentation

• Supporting continuous improvement projects

• Working safely and maintaining high engineering standards

What we're looking for

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer, Multi-Skilled Engineer or Maintenance Engineer with a strong electrical background.

You'll ideally have:

• Level 3 Engineering qualification or equivalent

• Strong electrical fault-finding skills

• Experience with PLC-controlled machinery

• Mechanical maintenance experience

• Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, food production or another fast-paced production environment

• A practical, hands-on approach to engineering

• The ability to work independently and as part of an experienced engineering team

• Flexibility to work a 4 on / 4 off days and nights pattern

What's on offer?

• £52,500 basic salary

• 4 on / 4 off days and nights

• Permanent, full-time position

• Stable manufacturing business

• Long-term investment in the site

• Modern production environment

• Varied range of production and automated equipment

• Experienced engineering team

• Opportunity to make a genuine impact on reliability and downtime

Why consider it?

This is a role for an engineer who likes being hands-on.

You'll have the opportunity to diagnose faults, make decisions and get involved with both electrical and mechanical maintenance rather than being restricted to one area of engineering.

The site is busy, but that's where a good maintenance engineer can make a real difference. You'll be working closely with production to keep equipment running, reduce downtime and improve reliability.

If you're an Electrical Engineer, Multi-Skilled Engineer or Maintenance Engineer looking for a stable permanent role with strong earning potential and a 4 on / 4 off shift pattern, this is well worth considering.
