Pay: Up to £55,000 + Quarterly Bonus

Are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer looking for a role with a business where people genuinely enjoy coming to work and build long-term careers?

Plaudently, perhaps you're fed up with constant firefighting, excessive weekends and being just another number within a large factory?

Yolk Recruitment are currently supporting a long-established manufacturer that has been operating for almost 60 years and supplies high-performance products into the aerospace, defence and telecommunications sectors. With continued investment and an engineering team boasting exceptional retention, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a close-knit maintenance department where engineers are trusted, valued and given plenty of autonomy.

This is what you’ll be doing

As a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer, you’ll play a key role in maintaining the reliability and performance of a wide range of production machinery and plant equipment. Working as part of an experienced team, you’ll carry out planned and reactive maintenance activities whilst contributing towards continuous improvement across the site.

Responsibilities

Carry out planned preventative maintenance activities to maximise equipment reliability and minimise downtime.
Respond to breakdowns and perform fault finding on a variety of electrical and mechanical equipment.
Work on motors, drives, contactors, relays, sensors, control panels and safety circuits.
Diagnose faults using PLC inputs, outputs and fault codes to support effective troubleshooting.
Perform mechanical maintenance including bearings, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, pumps and motors.
Support the maintenance and repair of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including heated press equipment.
Carry out installation work, modifications and continuous improvement projects across the site.
Undertake welding and fabrication repairs where required.
Ensure all maintenance activities are documented correctly and completed in line with health and safety requirements.
Work collaboratively with production teams to minimise downtime and maintain production schedules.
Identify recurring faults and contribute towards long-term engineering improvements.
Maintain high standards of housekeeping and engineering best practice.

Qualifications

Time-served apprenticeship or relevant engineering qualification.
Previous experience within a manufacturing or production environment.
Strong electrical and mechanical fault-finding ability.
Experience working with 3-phase systems, drives, motors and control panels.
Familiarity with PLC systems and automated machinery.
Ability to work independently and make sound engineering decisions.

And this is what you’ll get in return.

A salary package of up to £55,000 plus quarterly bonus and an excellent benefits package.

You’ll be joining a well established business that has built an outstanding reputation for quality and stability. Engineering retention is exceptionally strong, with several engineers having over 20 years’ service and the outgoing engineer retiring after almost 25 years with the company!

Additional benefits include
