The Role

As a Maintenance Engineer, you will be responsible for the planned and reactive maintenance of a range of PLC-controlled manufacturing machinery.

You will work as part of a close-knit engineering team, supporting production, improving equipment reliability and contributing to ongoing site investment projects.

• Respond quickly and effectively to breakdowns and equipment faults
• Complete electrical and mechanical fault finding
• Diagnose faults on PLC-controlled machinery
• Support equipment upgrades and machine installations
• Work alongside OEMs on engineering and improvement projects
• Complete root cause analysis following breakdowns
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
