Multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer - Electrical Bias

About CCST

CCST is a UK manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brake discs, supplying performance and motorsport markets. Our process runs through chemical vapour infiltration, or CVI, and it lives or dies on uptime. When a machine stops, the plan stops. That's why this role matters.

The role

We need a Maintenance Engineer with a strong electrical bias to keep our production lines running. PLC and controls knowledge counts for more here than a specific trade ticket. You'll fault find, you'll fix, and you'll help push asset availability in the right direction.

Key responsibilities

What you'll be doing

- Electrical & controls

Diagnose and repair faults on PLC controlled equipment, drives, sensors and control panels across the CVI and machining lines.

Siemens S7 or Allen-Bradley experience is a real advantage here.

- Reactive maintenance

First response on breakdowns. Get the line back to plan fast, then log the fault properly so the root cause gets fixed, not just the symptom.

- Planned maintenance

Run scheduled PM to the plan. Flag anything that threatens OEE or asset availability before it turns into a stoppage.

- Mechanical support

This is an electrical bias role, not electrical only. You'll pitch in on mechanical fault finding when the job needs it.

- Continuous improvement

Contribute to root cause analysis and process improvement. Support management of change properly on any electrical or controls modification, no shortcuts.

- Compliance & safety

Work to current electrical safety standards, including safe isolation and lock out tag out. Keep maintenance records and documentation up to date.

What you'll bring

Essential

- Recognised electrical or electronic engineering qualification (NVQ, HNC or equivalent), or a completed time served apprenticeship.

- Solid, provable fault finding experience on PLC controlled production machinery.

- Working knowledge of 18th Edition wiring regulations.

- Comfortable working to a live production plan, under a bit of pressure, without losing accuracy.

Desirable

- Siemens S7 or Allen-Bradley PLC programming experience.

- Background in manufacturing, ideally composites, automotive or aerospace.

- Multi-skilled maintenance experience with a mechanical bias.

- Experience maintaining robotics or automated production cells.

Beyond the ticket box, we're after someone who owns a fault until it's genuinely fixed, not patched. You'll talk plainly with production and quality, and you won't need chasing twice.

Next steps

This is a hands-on role in a fast moving environment where breakdowns get fixed properly. If that's the kind of problem you like solving, send your CV through to CCST recruitment and we'll take it from there.
