Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer - Electrical Bias

Are you an electrically qualified Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking to join a highly automated, fast-paced engineering environment?

This is an opportunity to join the engineering team at a large-scale FMCG manufacturing site, working specifically within its Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS).

You’ll be responsible for both electrical and mechanical maintenance across a highly automated warehouse incorporating stacker cranes, conveyors, lift tables, rotation tables, drives, motors and sensors. With only one engineer assigned to each shift, you’ll have real ownership of the equipment - diagnosing breakdowns, identifying root causes and implementing long-term improvements.

Role of Electrical Engineer

• Planned and reactive electrical and mechanical maintenance.
• Fault finding and breakdown repair across automated equipment.
• Maintain conveyors, drives, motors, sensors and mechanical systems.
• Take ownership of breakdowns from initial diagnosis through to permanent resolution.
• Identify recurring faults and implement reliability and continuous improvements.
• Work closely with OEMs and contractors on technical issues.
• Support and improve preventative maintenance procedures.
• Record maintenance activity using SAP/CMMS systems.
• Work as part of a small, experienced engineering and operations team.

Minimum Skills / Experience Required

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering - essential.
• Strong electrical fault-finding and diagnostic skills.
• Good hands-on mechanical maintenance experience.
• Experience working within a fast-paced manufacturing, FMCG, production or automated environment.
• Comfortable carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance.
• Able to work independently and take ownership of breakdowns.
• Happy working a 4 on / 4 off days and nights shift pattern.
• PLC fault-finding knowledge would be advantageous but is not essential.

Benefits

• 28 Days Holiday, Up to 8% Employer Pension, Private Medical & Dental, Overtime 1.5x Monday-Thursday / 2x Friday-Sunday
• 28 days holiday, with the option to purchase 2 additional days
• Up to 8% employer pension contribution
• Private medical
• Private dental
• Overtime opportunities - 1.5x standard overtime and double time across qualifying weekend hours
• Structured 3-6 month training and onboarding programme
• Genuine opportunities for career progression and leadership development

This isn't a role where you'll simply attend breakdowns and complete PPMs. You'll have the opportunity to understand the complete automated system, investigate recurring issues and make genuine improvements to equipment reliability and performance.
