Job Description

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer


£55,000 + Overtime + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Continental Shift Pattern (Days & Nights) - No Weekends

If you are a Maintenance Engineer who enjoys real engineering, not just firefighting, this opportunity offers the chance to work in a well-invested, stable manufacturing environment where your skills are valued and developed.

You will be joining a high-performing, close-knit engineering team within a cash-rich, forward-thinking business that continues to invest heavily in both plant, technology and people.

The Role

This is a hands-on, multi-skilled role where you will take ownership of keeping production running efficiently across a varied and technically interesting manufacturing plant.

  • Rapid response to electrical and mechanical breakdowns, fault finding and repair
  • Delivery of planned preventative maintenance (PPM) to maximise uptime
  • Work on a diverse range of equipment - bespoke machinery, drives, motors, hydraulics, pneumatics
  • PLC fault finding (Siemens, I/O level)
  • Support continuous improvement and reliability projects
  • Maintain clear documentation of work completed
  • Occasional participation in an on-call rota

About You

You will be an engineer who enjoys fault-finding, problem solving and making a real impact on production performance.

  • Time-served engineer with NVQ Level 3 / HNC / HND (or equivalent)
  • Multi-skilled - confident both electrically and mechanically
  • Strong fault-finding ability with a logical approach
  • Experience with:
  • PLCs (Siemens preferred)
  • Motors, drives, hydraulics & pneumatics
A proactive mindset - someone who takes pride in improving equipment, not just fixing itComfortable working independently and within a team

Shift Pattern

Weeks 1 and 2

3 x 12 hour day shifts

Weeks 3 and 4

3 x 12 hour day shifts (flexible, may be asked to swap shifts given reasonable notice)

Week 5

4 x 12 hour night shifts Monday to Thursday.

No weekend working unless you work overtime (some overtime expected to cover shifts)

No weekend working as standard - excellent work/life balance
Strong salary + overtime + bonus - earn well above your base
Generous pension + healthcare cash plan + life assurance
Outstanding job security with a full order book
Modern, well-maintained equipment (not a run-to-failure site)
Genuine training & development opportunities - upskill and progress
Supportive culture with long-serving engineers
