Job Description

Electrical Maintenance Engineer
Salary: £45,500
Shift Pattern: Rotating Earlies & Afternoons


We're recruiting an Electrical Maintenance Engineer to join a well-established manufacturing business, working across a busy packaging environment.

This is a great opportunity for an electrically biased engineer who enjoys fault finding, keeping machinery running and getting involved with a mix of planned and reactive maintenance.

The Role

You'll be responsible for maintaining and fault finding across a range of packaging and production machinery.

Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Electrical fault finding and diagnostics

  • Working with sensors, relays, switches and electrical controls

  • Maintenance of packaging and production machinery

  • Planned preventative maintenance

  • Reactive breakdown maintenance

  • Identifying recurring faults and helping improve machine reliability

  • Carrying out basic mechanical repairs where required

  • Working closely with production to minimise downtime


What We're Looking For

Ideally you'll have:

  • Previous experience within manufacturing, FMCG, packaging or a similar environment

  • Strong electrical fault-finding skills

  • Experience working with sensors, relays, switches and control systems

  • Experience maintaining automated or packaging machinery

  • A recognised electrical or engineering qualification

  • The ability to carry out basic mechanical maintenance


Shift Pattern

The role operates on a rotating shift pattern:

Weeks 1 & 2:
Monday–Friday
6:00am–2:00pm

Weeks 3 & 4:
Monday–Thursday
2:00pm–12:00am

This means you'll also benefit from a four-day working week every other rotation.

Package
  • £45,500 salary

  • Rotating early and afternoon shifts

  • No permanent nights

  • Four-day working week on the afternoon rotation

  • Stable, permanent engineering position

  • Opportunity to work across a range of modern packaging machinery

If you're an electrically biased Maintenance Engineer looking for a strong salary and a shift pattern that gives you regular long weekends, apply today for more information.
