Your New Company

With a vision to create a world without limits for people with diabetes, LifeScan is a world leader in blood glucose monitoring - globally, more than 20 million people depend on the company's OneTouch branded products to help them manage their diabetes. The LifeScan portfolio includes personal blood glucose meters, testing strips, lancets, point of care testing systems and integrated digital solutions. Joining the team in Inverness in the role of Maintenance Engineer, you will contribute to the smooth running of the Inverness facility.

Your New Role

This role offers an immediate start and a minimum duration of 1 year temporary contract and will be based on-site in Inverness working on a 4 on 4 off-shift rotation (days). This is a great opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team where you will be responsible for executing all maintenance activities. This will include emergency, corrective as well as preventative maintenance. You will proactively work on your own initiative to drive efficiencies and improvements, but you will also have the support of your Team Leader on shift to help understand the priorities and assign resources as required. Responsibilities will include but not be limited to: scheduling downtime for planned maintenance activities, diagnosing and repairing electrical, mechanical, vision and PLC faults, carrying out pre-defined regular maintenance checks and assessing and escalating equipment breakdowns as required.

What you'll need to succeed

In the role of Maintenance Engineer, you will work collaboratively with the wider team to minimise faults and maximise the efficiency of the equipment. To be successful in this role, ideally you will hold an ONC/HNC in Engineering or HND or a relevant engineering discipline or be time-served with relevant experience. Strong technical skills are required in both electrical and mechanical disciplines and an ability to logically find faults and routes cause all problems for this role. Ideally, you will have electrical, mechanical and pneumatic system knowledge, experience with low and extra-low voltage supplies, an understanding of fault-finding techniques and have practical hands-on skills.

What you'll get in return

In return, this role will provide you with an immediate start and the opportunity to secure a long-term contract with the potential to extend. This is a great role to continue your technical development with the support of a highly experienced technical team. We believe that our people and excellent working relationships are at the heart of our success. By supporting and caring for our customers, you will have the opportunity to gain that sense of achievement and moment of pride we all desire.
