Job description

Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Technician

Hull | £46,700 (including shift premium)

Permanent | 3‑shift rotational (Days, Lates & Nights)

Travis Talent is proud to partner with a long‑established, world‑class manufacturer in Hull seeking to add a talented Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Technician to their high‑performing engineering team.

This is an opportunity for a proven engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced, highly automated production environment to take ownership of machinery reliability, drive efficiency, and play a key role in continuous improvement.

Shift Pattern

• Days: 7:00 am – 3:00 pm (Monday to Thursday) / 7:00 am – 12:30 pm (Friday)
• Lates: 3:00 pm – 11:00 pm (Monday to Thursday) / 12:30 pm – 6:00 pm (Friday)
• Nights: 11:00 pm – 7:00 am (Monday to Thursday) / 6:00 pm – 11:30 pm (Friday)

Salary is £41,812.54 for day shifts only, rising to £46,725.51 on a rotational pattern.

The Role

• Provide electrical and mechanical support across automated production lines
• Respond to breakdowns efficiently, driving root cause analysis and preventative solutions
• Contribute to PPM, improvement projects, and installation of new machinery
• Champion high safety, quality, and performance standards on every shift

What You’ll Bring

• Time‑served apprenticeship with NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Experience maintaining complex manufacturing or process equipment
• Confident fault‑finding skills across electrical, mechanical, and ideally PLC systems (Siemens or Allen Bradley)
• A proactive mindset – someone who takes ownership, thinks on their feet, and never settles for “that’ll do”

The Right Fit

This isn’t a role for someone who just fixes what’s broken. It’s for an engineer who anticipates issues, improves systems, and takes pride in keeping a modern manufacturing operation running at its best.

If you enjoy autonomy, variety, and being part of a high‑performing engineering culture, you’ll thrive here.
