Job description

Multi-Skilled Engineer Days

GBP42K GBP45K Monday to Friday Proper Engineering, Not Pretend Projects

Ever found yourself fixing a machine and wondering why no one else bothered to learn how it actually works?

Good. You re exactly who we re after.

This is a multi-skilled role properly multi-skilled not just tighten a bolt and tick the box stuff. Electrical, mechanical, hydraulics, pneumatics, PLCs, a bit of machining if needed the lot.

You ll be part of an engineering team that doesn t sit around waiting for permission. Something breaks, you sort it. Something could be better, you improve it. A project needs pushing? You get stuck in.

It s a days-based role (Monday to Friday, 42 hours), but there s a light call-out rota just Monday to Wednesday evenings, and not every week. In return, you re paid well, get a strong bonus scheme, and you re not on shifts.

What you ll be doing:

• Hands-on breakdown response and maintenance (no babysitting required)
• Fault-finding across electrical and mechanical kit including Siemens PLCs (S5/S7), Eurotherm, Uni Drives
• Helping run improvement projects not just standing nearby
• Machining, fabricating, wiring, rebuilding, diagnosing whatever keeps the place running
• Keeping reports and records tidy enough to survive an audit (without going full clipboard zombie)

What you ll need:

• 17th Edition and some BTEC or C&G mechanical/electrical quals
• Experience fault-finding on hydraulics, pneumatics, and PLC-driven systems
• Ability to use workshop gear (lathe, mill, etc.) without needing a YouTube tutorial
• A bit of initiative. (You know, the thing most job specs pretend to want but never reward.)

What you get:

• GBP42,000 GBP45,000
• Strong monthly bonus (based on individual performance, not team mood)
• 33 days holiday (yes, that includes stats)
• Medical cash plan, cycle to work, and all the usual sensible perks

If you re tired of maintenance jobs where you spend more time waiting for parts than fixing things this might be more your pace.

Apply now or drop me a message. I ll tell you the truth, not the corporate version.
